I was supposed to be on the Tonight Show but I broke my shoulder instead.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I did the 'Tonight Show' once, and I choked up. I get intimidated.
It took so much of the tension out of me that my friends and family won't see me on this show.
I was a backstage kid. I was in the wings looking out.
I fell off stage and bruised some ribs. The worst part was that the audience didn't realize I was gone.
All I could think of was we were about to start filming for the last final weeks of the TV show and here I am in the hospital, so I missed the final weeks, and a couple days later, sore stomach and all I got on the horse we started filming.
As I laid in the hospital bed I started thinking that I had a show to do. I was hoping the Doctor would put me together so I could do the show.
Show business got really tainted for me.
My first appearance as a guest on The Tonight Show was in '81.
After my 1985 appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson,' I was wooed by producers in Hollywood, who told me they wanted to turn my act into a sitcom.
I was knocked out by the show, Chicago.
