But before we start getting on Colbert for doing this outside of the charity element, let us not forget that Johnny Carson--at the point in his career where he could do anything he damn pleased and NBC couldn't do a thing about it, hosted and produced a show called "The World's Greatest Practical Jokes," the basis for that segment on "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes." This show put him in a shotgun marriage with Dick Clark, a man he did not like and vice versa. Once again, Carson never needed to do this and could've given NBC the theoretical middle finger--but he didn't.
