Say what you will about Carnac, that is one of the funniest moments of television I have ever seen.
It’s a legitimately very funny joke. But what made the bit immortal was Johnny trying to get through it without laughing and spoiling it (He knew the punchline beforehand, Ed didn’t), and then everybody losing it afterward.
