Too bad it was Channing's only appearance the show. She was fun. At least she was a regular on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

She appears on the show again circa 1995 to do a top ten list.

Tbh she may have had surgery, but she kept her looks and spirit after all those years.

[@mattforsman5255]

1980 interview. Dave only did the morning show for 1 season and before Late Nite

[@TVGord]

No, actually this WAS 1985. It was Late Night, but they did a mock morning show, because VCRs were catching on, and more people were watching the show the next morning.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Nope. You've been punk'd.

[@shawn1928]

Forget Carol... ...that Tawny Harper Reynolds in the workout tights is hot AF

[@Melons-vg8dq]

Emperor had no clothes. Awful singing.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Dave stepped on Carole's Whoopi punchline. What a jerk move.

[@albinjohansson5975]

He's always been a bit of a schmuck
