His timing was perfect and he allowed his guests to just let go and to shine, he just helped them along at times.
I don't know who the Pro Golfer was but this Pro Golfer and his wife were on the Tonight Show. After talking a while Johnny Carson asked the golfers wife, "Is there anything special that you do before your husband plays in a tournament?" and the golfers wife said, "I kiss his balls". Johnny Carson turns his head towards the audience and camera with that surprised look he gives and with perfect timing says, "I bet that makes his putter rise" and the audience just roared with laughter. He got into some trouble for that little line because it embarrassed the golfers wife or something like that, lol.
I like Fallon, but he is no Johnny Carson and Fallon is to PC to say anything like the story above...he's too scared.
Another famous Carson quip was when Zsa Zsa Gabor was his guest and brought her white Persian cat. The cat was on her lap while the interview was going on, and Carson finally made some reference to the cat. Zsa Zsa then asked Carson if he would like to pet her puzzy. Carson gave a sly grin and replied "Sure, if you move the cat first".
