I happended to catch Carson's monologue tonight (03/17/86) and something
strange popped up. Note that this was a "Best of Carson", so the show was
about a year old. He told a joke about last year's first secret military
mission on the space shuttle, but some of the phases were munged. It
sounded like several of the words were played backwards. I'm sure it
was censoring, not a technical problem. I'm wondering why the joke was
censored. Anyone in LA or NY care to call NBC and find out why the
monologue was censored?
