                           The Johnny Carson Show

     � � � � After Surely You're Joking became a best-seller, Feynman
     was invited to do an appearance on the well-known Johnny Carson
     show. A number of us were sitting around at dinner when the topic
     of the invitation came up. Feynman stated that was unfamiliar with
     the show and was debating whether or not he should go on. Everyone
     there started putting on the hard sell. Al Hibbs discussed the
     excellence of the show and that he had appeared on it several
     times discussing various space exploration missions by the Jet
     Propulsion Laboratory. "Carson is a science buff," he exclaimed.
     Others joined in the choir of approval. I turned to Feynman and
     said, "Watch it first. Watch it before you make any sort of
     commitment." He turned to me and said, "That's the first wise
     thing I have heard on this topic."

     � � � � A few days later Feynman spotted me walking across the
     campus and demanded I come over. "What?" "YOU WERE RIGHT! I
     watched that show and it was the most idiotic program I have ever
     seen. I would have walked of it in the middle."
