Elizabeth Tashjian was very fond of nuts. In 1972 she founded the Nut Museum in Old Lyme, Connecticut. Because think of it. In all of the world, where is there a nut museum. She pioneered nut studies, she even wrote a nut anthem. On October 13, 1981 she was invited to appear on the Tonight Show. You could tell from the start Johnny was annoyed. She prattled on about nuts. Then at the end of the show he told her, lady you are a nut. And she cried. But you know people started talking about it the next day. I remember one man on local radio couldn't keep from laughing because he was defending the nut lady. But why did Carson even invite her on the show if he was going to treat her so badly? BTW she was later found competent by a court.
