While hosting the show, Carson had a tendency of fidgeting with a pencil. In order to avoid anyone getting hurt, the show’s producers decided to provide him with pencils with erasers on both ends. At first, he asked “But how can I write with this?” to which his friend Ed McMahon replied: “There’s no need. You’re a talker. You’re not a writer.”
