Ed Ames teaching Johnny Carson how to throw a tomahawk on The Tonight Show in 1965. A legendary moment, one of the longest laughs from a studio audience ever recorded on television

Ed Ames (RIP) teaching Johnny Carson how to throw a Tomahawk, a legendary Tonight Show moment from Wayback in 1965 - Video

On April 29, 1965, Ed Ames (aka Mingo from Daniel Boone) went on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson to show off his tomahawk-throwing skills. Let’s just say… things didn’t go as planned 😳😂 He threw the tomahawk - and BULLSEYE - right into the crotch of a wooden cowboy target. The audience lost it. Johnny Carson couldn’t breathe. And late-night TV history was made. Moral of the story: We'll train you better! Unless that's what your trying to hit 😂 #Throwback #EdAmes #JohnnyCarson #AxeThrowing
