Carson made fun of Gary Hart’s affair on air. He especially focused on the fact that Hart and his mistress were pictured on a boat called “Monkey Business.” TV critic Greg Dawson commented: “Isn’t it reassuring to know that the identity of the next president of the United States could be decided in large part by Johnny Carson’s joke writers? It this a great democracy or what?”
