<P> Carson 's preference for access to Hollywood stars caused the show 's move to the West Coast on May 1 , 1972 . When asked about intellectual conversation on Tonight , Carson and his staff invariably cited `` Carl Sagan , Paul Ehrlich , Margaret Mead , Gore Vidal , Shana Alexander , Madalyn Murray O'Hair '' as guests ; one television critic stated , however , `` he always presented them as if they were spinach for your diet when he did ( feature such names ) '' . Family therapist Carlfred Broderick appeared on the show ten times , and psychologist Joyce Brothers was one of Carson 's most frequent guests . Carson , in general , did not feature prop comedy acts ( Carson was not averse to using prop comedy himself ) ; such acts , with Gallagher being a prominent example , more commonly appeared when guest hosts helmed the program . </P>
