It's true; I saw it with my own lyin' eyes
Comment: The myth about Zsa Zsa Gabor and Johnny Carson is TRUE, not
false, as you claim. However, it was not Zsa Zsa Gabor, and it wasn't a Persian cat. It was a Joan Embry type person, one of the people he used to get from the zoo. The woman brought a cougar or leopard or tiger or lion cub to the studio, like Johnny liked to do frequently on his show. It was during the black and white days of the Carson's Tonight Show. She said during the interview, "Would you like to pet my pussy?" to which Carson said "Sure, move the cat!" That was exactly what he said. It was too fast for censors, and there was no profanity in it. I don't know if this ever made it on air, but it DID make it to a blooper show in the 1980's or 1990's. I know because I saw it myself. I remember the exact words because I couldn't believe that Carson would say it, and it was just so funny.

Comment: On your "Trademark of a Devil" article discussing the Donahue
Show in 1994 that aired with the Proctor & Gamble President discussing their connection to the Church of Satan... that show DID air because I saw it myself!!! I think that you need to truely investigate all possible options before you post your snope-false/true things on here. After reading your article & personally knowing the fact that the show DOES exist because I saw it myself, it would appear that someone (P&G) has "paid other people off to keep quiet about that episode & forget it never happened due to corporate politics of realizing later on after doing the show that they put their foot in their mouths & almost ruined their business". Do further research, I guarantee you'll find that episode again & Proctor & Gamble will be re-exposed to the public a second time!

Comment: Concerning the "urine-dye" myth: It is interesting to note that
it seems to have become common knowledge that this is a myth. When I saw this I was astonished. While anecdotal evidence is surely not enough to change your listing, I myself have personally seen such a chemical work -- on more than one occassion. A friend of mine peed in a neighbors pool (how do I know this? The green cloud of course) and when the green cloud surrounded him we laughed pretty heartily. Not being a very squemish person, he joined in the mirth. While this might have been some strange mixture of chemicals that had to do with what he was drinking and the cleaning chemicals of the pool, it stands to reason that the owner could have just as easily put something in the pool as well. We never asked, of course. But, it did happen again.

Comment: "Buck" / "Doe" example was in fact true. You are wrong. I
witnessed it happen. It was one of the funniest moments of my life. I've been telling that story since it happened. Yes, it did happen on Password....and yes it was a black contestant. You should really persue your research before making a false claim like this.

Comment: Your report on the incident with Groucho Marx saying that line
about his cigar is absolutely wrong. I was 10 years old watching that program. He said it; I had to ask my mother why the network cut off the sound. She wouldn't tell me why what he said was bad, either, because people didn't talk openly about sex then!!! You'd better investigate some more, because I was an EYEWITNESS/EAR WITNESS to that one, and you are, indeed, wrong. Now I'm wondering how accurate the other reports are.

Comment: Sorry, but I heard this myself. We got our first TV in November of
1949, so it couldn't have happened in 1947, unless they later reran an old show. It is one of very few controversial or famous quotes that have been reported over the years that I actually witnessed. That is why it lives so vividly in my memory. It was also captured on an old comedy record called "Pardon My Blooper". It was just audio from the show, but, if it wasn't Groucho, it was a good impersonation. I would guess that it happened in the early to mid 1950s. I was seven years old in 1949 and would not have caught the implication. I love your site and what you're doing, but THIS TIME, I have first hand knowledge to the contrary. I realize that the audio could have been faked, but I believe it wasn't because of the video that I personally saw. If you need it and can't get it, let me know and I will digitize the excerpt from my old record and send it to you. Believe what you must, but I heard and saw it myself.

Comment: Regarding your Groucho story. I definitely heard him say that to the mother of 10 children. I was young then, but not young enough to not know what he meant. I remember laughing my head off, and telling all my friends. Someone must have forgotten to edit it out. I do remember it as if it were yesterday. Being young it made quite an impression.

Comment: Can you please recheck your story about Johnny Carson and Zsa Zsa Gabor? I saw the show that it happened on and it wasn't Johnny and Zsa Zsa. It was Merv Griffin and Zsa Zsa's sister, I belive Eva Gabor, I could be wrong on which Gabor sister it was. But I did see the show.

Comment: Regarding the Groucho cigar remark: I too am a believer that I
"remember" seeing this, not hearing it nor reading about it. In the late 60's or ealry 70's, WFLD in Chicago (Channel 32) used to run "You Bet Your Life." There are a few things I DON'T remember however. I do NOT recall the claim of 20 children. I remember the woman to be very young (about 25 years old) and she had about 6 or 7 kids. Also, I recall that this woman was not paired with her husband, rather she was teamed with a stranger. Thirdly, I remember the line to be "Well I love my cigar, but I take it out once in a while." While he is uttering this phrase, he looks to the camera, pulls out the cigar and gives a classic Groucho eyebrow wrinkle. I am 95% certain that I witnessed this exchange when I was about 14 or 15 years old and I was SHOCKED at what I had just heard. I also recall the audience laughing hysterically and the woman being embarassed by the remark. Woman: ...and we have 7 children. Groucho: SEVEN children?!? Woman: Well I love my husband very much. Grouch: Well I love my cigar (turns to audience and pulls out cigar) but I take it out once in a while. I wonder if I am the only one to remember this, or will you get more rebuttals???
