Accidentally Helping Uri Geller
In 1973, Uri Geller made an appearance on The Tonight Show. However, magician James Randi shared that Carson was skeptical about Geller’s abilities and actually wanted to embarrass Geller. Carson confused Geller while on air and didn’t interview him but expected him to perform on the spot. Geller left feeling humiliated, but this appearance actually helped boost his fame. People felt that his failure actually made him act more real and believable. If he were merely performing, it would work every time.
