WHEEERE’S JOHNNY?

Carson recalls a meeting at Chasen’s where Ed Wynn (referring to the use of dancing girls on TV) asked the rhetorical question, “What’s sexy about a three-inch girl?” Johnny thanked him and left.

Only I know what happened next. Tyke though I was, I had to chuckle when my grandfather waited until Carson was out of earshot, leaned over to me and whispered, “I’ll tell you what’s sexy about a three-inch girl--a two-inch costume.”
