" The Mafia put a contract out on “Tonight Show” host Johnny Carson after he drunkenly hit on a mobster’s mistress in Frank Sinatra’s favorite Manhattan bar, according to a new biography of the TV icon.
It was 1970, and a predictably sloshed Carson was pounding drinks at Jilly’s Saloon on West 52nd Street and Eighth Avenue at closing time.
“An attractive brunette at the bar caught Carson’s eye, and he was doing his considerable best to convince her to leave with him,” wrote Henry Bushkin in his new tome “Johnny Carson.”
But the beauty already had a beau — and he had a hair-trigger temper.
“And when her boyfriend — a major figure in the underworld — arrived, he was not grateful to Johnny for entertaining his ‘goomar’ in his absence,” Bushkin wrote.
The unidentified wiseguy and his goons picked Carson up off his bar stool and threw him down a flight of stairs before famed saloon owner Jilly Rizzo — whose regulars included Sinatra, Dean Martin and Judy Garland — interceded and prevented a more serious beatdown.
But the mob big wasn’t satisfied and put out a contract to have Carson whacked.
A terrified Carson wisely “holed up in his UN Plaza palace for three days, missing three shows,” according to the book.
The vengeful mobsters only backed off after one of Carson’s contacts at the William Morris Agency cut a deal with crime boss Joseph Colombo. "
