This one's a little complicated but follow me on this. It's worth it.
First, go back to this post from 2005. It's about the first Tonight Show that Jay Leno taped following the death of Johnny Carson. Then read the post right after it. After you've read both of them, meet me back here. I'll wait for you.
Back so soon? Gee, you read fast. Okay, here's a clip from that evening's show…
All right. Now, watch the Carson clip from another angle…
All of this should make sense if you read the two posts I told you to read. And by the way, I forgot to mention in there that Leno tapes his show on Stage 3, where CPO Sharkey was taped.
Okay, I'm done. You can go now.
