Johnny Carson:
[after telling Cliff's joke and hearing the audience dislike it] Whoa, stay where you are. Fortunately folks, in a situations like this, the band has instructions to come over and form a human barrier in front of the star. How did that line get on the cue cards, anyway? I should have done that joke with one of those big blue dots covering my face. Who wrote that joke anyway?

Cliff Clavin:
[angrily getting to his feet] I wrote that joke, and it was great!

Johnny Carson:
Pardon me?

Cliff Clavin:
The problem wasn't the joke, the problem was you! You botched it! You botched my joke, Johnny Carson!

Norm Peterson:
Sit down.

Cliff Clavin:
[being let away by security] I'm not going to sit down! I wrote that joke! Get your hands off me! Is this the way you treat your talent, Carson?

Johnny Carson:
[to audience] Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of NBC.
