One time while Carson was at Jilly’s, he noticed a attractive brunette woman when she walked into the bar. The comedian decided to start to chat her up, but he unfortunately made a grave error in doing so. Apparently, she was the girlfriend of a “major figure in the criminal underworld,” and he got in a bit of trouble.
