Will never forget the gag played on Joan by Johnnie Carson.

He invited her to a party in - I think - Las Vegas and said there would be a plane for her at LAX. When she arrived at the VIP lounge at the airport there was "Margaret Thatcher" (actually an impersonator famous for the portrayal of Maggie on UK TV).

"Thatcher" took Joan to task for her rude comments about Britain and Princess Anne in particular.

Poor Joan was flabbergasted!! Muttered apologies, ending with the comment "Well, we helped you during the war"
