“Johnny Carson is a mean-spirited human being. And there are people that he has hurt that people will never know about. And for some reason at some point, he decided to turn that kind of negative attention toward me. And I refused to have it,” Wayne Newton said on Larry King Live. Finally, after Carson made one too many jokes about Newton, Newton confronted him with a threat to fight unless he stopped. Carson never made a joke about Newton again.
