Scandals From The Johnny Carson Show

Blonde Bombshell Downfall

After the Tonight Show was shortened it made way for David Letterman’s own show Late Night With David Letterman. However, due to the shortening of the show blonde bombshell Carol Wayne’s character was all but discarded from the new format.

Carol began to fall on hard times financially and allegedly turned to drugs and alcohol to cope. She allegedly also turned to escorting to pay the bills. Carol had multiple relationships with questionable men including used car salesman Edward Durston. At one point the two were vacationing in Mexico when they allegedly had an argument and Ed left Carol on the beach.
