* An episode of ''Series/{{Cheers}}'', "Heeeeere's...Cliffy!" had Cliff send in a joke for the show. After he's too afraid to open what turns out to be a rejection letter himself, Norm edits it to say they accepted to make him feel better, so Cliff drags him to a taping, forcing Norm to bribe one of the crew to write it on Johnny's cue cards, where it inevitably bombs. Notably, the episode aired one month before Johnny's retirement.

* ''Film/TheKingOfComedy'' is about a wannabe comedian (played by Creator/RobertDeNiro) who's obsessed with talk show host Jerry Langford (played by Creator/JerryLewis). Langford is obviously an {{expy}} of Carson, and Carson was even offered the role. He turned it down, but Carson's producer Fred de Cordova plays his own FictionalCounterpart in the film. Then it went full circle in ''Film/{{Joker|2019}}'', when De Niro played Carson {{expy}} Murray Franklin, whose show ''Live! With Murray Franklin'' even borrowed the color pattern of the curtains from Carson's ''Tonight Show''.
* Creator/JackNicholson referenced the show in ''Film/TheShining'' by saying "HEEERRE'S JOHNNY!", a reference to the phrase used to introduce Carson.
