Carson's borrowings are leavened with respect and an originality that will run a thematic risk-"take left turns," as McCormick says-without becoming reckless. "He had an unfailing instinct for what would resonate, of what would work for him," says Brickman, who recalls with admiration how Carson withstood one writer who tried to get him to revamp the traditional Washington's Birthday skit by impersonating a cherry tree...
