For decades, people swore Lucille Ball was the guest who finally made Johnny Carson lose control on The Tonight Show.

But that story is completely wrong — and the real person is one of the most legendary, fearless, and dangerous comedians ever to walk onto a stage.

This episode breaks down the truth behind the only guest who could crack Carson’s iron composure — the roasts, the chaos, the Sinatra connection, the cigarette-box incident, and the comedic superpower that made Carson laugh harder than anyone else in 30 years.

The myth stops here.

The real answer is wild.

And the reveal? Completely worth the wait.
