Johnny Carson Faces Off With A Cheetah And Winds Up In The Arms Of Ed McMahon
July 02, 2023

In a hilarious Johnny Carson cheetah face-off, the famous late-night host thinks he's got things under control. But then the cheetah lets out a ferocious growl!
Johnny Carson was an incredibly talented man. But animal tamer he was not!

“Just relax,” Johnny Carson says to the cheetah. “They say if you look an animal right in the face and talk to them then they know you’re not scared.”
Right after he finishes saying that, the cheetah lashes out. The beast swings his paw at the top of the cage towards Johnny Carson. This ends up making him yell and run over to Ed McMahon where he jumps right into his arms. And the audience erupts in laughter at the hysterical sight!
