Scandals From The Johnny Carson Show

The Octopus And The Guppy

Recently, actress Sally Field appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and spoke about her own experiences with Johnny Carson. Her relationship with the late night legend would be considered weird, to say the least.

Andy Cohen asked Sally how she would describe her relationship with Johnny and she said, “The octopus and the reluctant little guppy.” Andy Cohen replied to her, “He was all hands with you.” This is obviously what she meant by “octopus”. While Sally did allegedly date Johnny, she also stated that she was never actually interested in him but didn’t know how to turn him down.
