Sally Field Feigns Crazy
She elaborated that because she didn’t know how to say no to people, she would “tell people I had lost my mind.” She did this with Carson as well. She shared: “I told him I was having a breakdown and being sent away. I couldn’t figure out how just to say I’m really am just not into this. I just said, ‘I’m so sorry. I have to go away. They’re putting me in a home.'”

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.
