Carson was already hosting &#8216;Tonight&#8217; and was taping for a week or so in Los Angeles when he appeared on &#8216;The New Steve Allen Show&#8217; (1962-64) which was in syndication through Westinghouse. Prior to this episode, Allen placed a telephone call to the home of Johnny Carson, posing as a ratings company interviewer, asking Carson if the Television was on, and what program he was watching. Carson didn&#8217;t immediately realize the caller was Allen, and the exchange was classic humor from both, beginning to end. A rarity is the exchange between Allen and Carson about Carson&#8217;s guests, permitting him to plug his own show on a competing network.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Bex4_9J2ij4\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Bex4_9J2ij4<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Steve Allen &amp; Johnny Carson &quot;Prank-Call&quot; Jack Paar\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Bex4_9J2ij4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>One of my favorite moments in TV History is when Johnny Carson appeared on The Tonight Show with Steve Allen.
