Ed Ames appeared on the Carson show in the late 60s.  He played the Indian companion on Fess Parker's Daniel Boone show.

On Carson, Ames agreed to demonstrate the proper way to throw a tomahawk.  The toss, the ooops, the rest is history.

This WAS NOT a planned moment.  Ames was as embarrassed as could be.  Carson played it for all it was worth.  It was hilarious,

and one of the most sanctimoniously funny moments in television history.

I apologize folks. That was supposed to read ‘spontaneously’ funny. My spell-checker slipped one by me.

And Carson told Ames that he didn’t even know he was Jewish!! One of the great moments in TV history.

Ed Ames and Johnny. A classic.
