Johnny banned Orson Welles from re-appearing on the Tonight Show.

I never read of Carson banning Orson Welles but I do know he went from praising him very highly when Welles was first on the show to making jokes about him later. I'd never seen Carson, on the show, have such a change of heart about a guest before or afterwards. I can't figure out if something happened or Carson just couldn't resist going for easy fat jokes later.
