I used to enjoy Carson's bits with Carnac. With thanks and attribution to Carson for the character, I've made up a few of my own:

The Response: Three Mile Island, John Wayne, and Nancy Pelosi

The Request: Name a Nuke, a Duke, and a Kook.


The response: Kim Jong Un, Duroc, and Stephen Colbert

The Request: Name a Nork, a Pork, and a Dork

All others welcome! Razz

Not sure but I think that is cheating.

I love Carson but Carnac was my least favorite schtick he did.

The only one I remember was:

Answer: Chicken Teryaki
Question: Name the only surviving Kamikaze pilot

I would go to bed before Carson came on but my friend would stay up to watch. If Johnny did Carnac my friend would call and wake me up so I could watch.

I'm filled with gratitude for the blessings I've received.
