28 year old Jim Carrey was already going full blast in his stand-up comedy career in 1991 when he appeared for the last time on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show in 1991. Jim had been on the Carson Show several times by this point and was becoming one of Johnny's favorite comics. With his wild, physical comedy and impulsive behavior, Carrey was already starting to eclipse his natural predecessor Robin Williams. This particular show was poignant because Johnny was only months from his big retirement and EVERYBODY was watching the show, knowing it was the end of an era.
