Johnny interviews his former babysitter, 83-year-old Corning, Iowa resident Mabel Gaskill, during his November 6, 1987 show. Charming, quick-witted Mabel talks about Johnny as a baby and suggests a few Tonight Show improvements she'd like Johnny to consider. Mabel delivers some very clever one-liners, and Johnny seems to love every minute of it. Carson was born on October 23, 1925 in Corning and lived there with his family for a few years before moving to Nebraska. Birthplace details: www.johnnycarsonbirthplace.org

That's true. Wasn't Paul McCartney's first girlfriend, Lisa born there during March, 1960?
