: : I watch those Johnny Carson Collection infomercial, and among the clips they show is one with Jane Fonda saying "I heard that 'so-and-so' asked 'would you like to pet my pussy?' and you said 'sure, if you get that damn cat out of the way"
: ...AND all I'm tellin' you is what I heard.
This is what happened. Johnny Carson and Jane Fonda were actually debunking the rumor (and BTW, I've seen that informercial a million times and have yet to see that clip on the informercial):
Fonda: I gotta ask you something.
Carson: Sure.
Fonda: Last night, my son . . . you know, you were talking about Zsa Zsa Gabor earlier . . .
Carson: Yeah, I think everyone's talking about her.
Fonda: My son said . . . "You know, she was on the Johnny Carson Show one time. She came there with a cat on her lap, and she said to you, 'Do you want to pet my pussy?'"
[Audience laughter.]
And my son said that you said, uh, "I'd love to if you'd remove that damn cat!"
[Prolonged laughter and applause.]
Is it true?
Carson: [Shaking head] I . . . I tell you, I . . .
Fonda: Is it true?
Carson: No, I think I would recall that.
