AL GORE GOT COMEDY TIPS AND JOKES FROM JOHNNY CARSON
Former vice president Al Gore is saying that he got occasional tips on comic timing and delivery from the late Johnny Carson during the mid-1990s, even getting a couple of jokes from the comedy legend, the New York Times reports. Gore said he'd called Carson several times for guidance, explaining, "He let me call him up and bounce jokes off him and he would give me advice on the presentation of gags. It was such a privilege." Gore said he approached the then-retired Carson -- who died in January --through a mutual friend.
There's no way to verify this story because Johnny's DEAD!

David Letterman was getting jokes from Johnny too. Probably a lot of people were getting jokes from Johnny. But there is no way to verify this either is there? Who cares. I believe it.
Did he do this before or after he invented the internet?
Here's the difference Carson acknowledged a working relationship with Letterman before his death. Letterman was/is funny,
Gore is not!
I think Gore is the funniest thing on TV. I always get a laugh whenever he is on (between tears of mourning for this country). I always take notice ever since I saw that film clip on Rush's TV show of Gore touring Montecello (I believe) where he didn't know who the busts of famous Americans was. Even Slippery Willie alienated himself. That was another classic. But now he gets credit from the dead. This is great!!
Algore. What a blemish on the face of Tennessee.
That makes sense - Johnny died, just like all of Al Gore's jokes.
