- <p> 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?"
