Carson Unbridled

Johnny Carson was known for his drinking, but he had a nasty attitude to go with it. In October 1987, NBC threw him a 25th-anniversary party aboard the Queen Mary. Rick (who also had a significant drinking problem) was also there.
Rick was hammered, and when Johnny went to check on him, a screaming fight ensued. This all the while was happening on a ship packed with media, network executives, and Carson’s family and friends. Witnesses reported that Carson was the aggressor who lost his temper and began yelling. Believe it or not, Johnny pulled back his fist to take a punch at his son, but somebody stepped in and stopped it.
