The Carson situation was different, since Dave had so much to say about him, and since they could put together a monologue of stuff Johnny had written. Showing the Wheldon episode with a memorial bumper at the end of his segment would work. Whether or not they do this, I'm sure Dave will mention it when they come back. -- TV or Not TV ....
