Overview
A character intended to be Johnny Carson appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man, Volume 1 #99 in August, 1971. Carson invited Spider-Man onto an episode of his show with the incentive of boosting public opinion on the wall-crawler. Spider-Man was reluctant at first until he learned that he would be paid for the appearance. Johnny gave a special introduction to Spider-Man, who wowed the audience by doing various acrobatic feats. He then addressed the audience in a more serious form, by speaking out about prison reform.
