And I hope when I find something that I want to do and I think you would like and come back that you'll be as gracious in inviting me into your home as you have been. I bid you a very heartfelt good night."
Less than a month later, it was announced that Carson had made a deal to develop a new project for NBC. Unfortunately, it never came to be and the king of late night didn't return to television on a regular basis. Perhaps wisely, he felt he'd never be able to top what he'd already done.
Thankfully he did make a few brief appearances in the next couple years.
