PEOPLE, Page 75Cry Me A Rivers
By MICHAEL QUINN
It could be the weirdest tribute that Johnny Carson will
receive in his farewell week. Daytime gab-queen JOAN RIVERS, on
the outs with the Tonight show titan since her ill-fated 1986
effort to launch a competing late-night program, opens her
Monday salute to Carson by weepily denouncing her exile from the
guest list during Carson's closing days ("It's just like the
Stalin purge!") -- and complaining, "They wouldn't let me show
a clip. We asked over the years, and they keep saying, `We will
sue you.'" Actually, control-freak Carson nixed similar
requests from several shows -- but Rivers wasn't one of them.
Her producers made no effort to obtain clips, knowing what
Carson's response would be to that familiar inquiry,"Can we
talk?"
