Heeeeeeere’s Curt!
Tonight I’ll be playing the role of Carnac the Adequate, a poor imitation of Johnny Carson’s Carnac the Magnificent. For those of you too young or uneducated to remember The Tonight Show before Jay Leno, Carson used to periodically don a turban and "predict" the answer to a question inside a sealed envelope. He would then open the envelope and read the question, which provided the punch line.
A. A pair of forceps.
Q. What beats a pair of threeceps in poker?
A. The Babylonian captivity.
Q. What is it called when a woman can’t leave home for a while because she
is taking care of a newborn?
A. No.
Q. Are you still accepting entries into the baby pool?
A. No, but ask me again tomorrow.
Q. Has your baby been born yet?

I guess this makes J-No a sedated version of Ed McMahon–Hiyooooo!!!
Was the forceps one done by Johnny before? I think I’ve heard that one somewhere…

New reader, here. I like your blog and used to love Johnny. Did you know that Letterman does the Carnac bit? They’ve worked it into “Stump the Band” (I think. It might be part of “Know Your Current Events”), another Carson bit. Paul playes Johnny with the hat and Dave does Ed’s bit.

You tell your wife and that baby to stop that nonsense right now! It isn’t the 14th yet!

Firefly means it’s not the 19th yet
