...volunteers at Glendale Adventist hospital, PhoneFriend is run out of the chaplain's office on a budget of $5,000 a year, raised by donations.

He made wisecracks about Dan Quayle, chatted with guests like Tony Bennett and Robin Williams, and modestly accepted a nightly shower of accolades and standing ovations. The sentimental high point came on Thursday night, when Carson's final guest, Bette Midler, plied him with musical tributes, closing the show with a rendition...
Besides, Ed usually announces the winners on the Tonight Show and everyone knows that after Carson's last show, the big Edster is going to be a persona non grata at NBC's Burbank studios. He claims that the winner will join him on national TV, but Ed's only show by then will be Star Search. Some people might think it's better to be anonymously filthy rich...
