Norm: Excuse me, buddy. Uh, could I talk to you for a minute?
Cue Card Guy: What do you need?
Norm: Um, how would you like to make a couple hundred bucks?
Cue Card Guy: What are you talking about?
Norm: A friend of mine wrote this joke, and I was wondering if you could, uh, sort of slip it into Johnny Carson's monologue.
Cue Card Guy: Oh, sure, we do it all the time. Most of Johnny's jokes come from folks just like yourself in the audience who offer us money.
Norm: I admit it's, it's a bad joke, but the guy's entire existence is riding on this.
Cue Card Guy: This is a bad joke? I mean a sure clunker? Johnny will definitely bomb with this?
Norm: I'm afraid so, yeah.
Cue Card Guy: Well, I'm out of work in a month anyway. [chuckles] Jay Leno has his own people. Let me see the joke.
Norm: Oh, great, thank you so much. How much can I give you, huh?
Cue Card Guy: Ah, don't worry about it. Just buy me a beer after the show.
Norm: [hugs the guy] Wherever you go, people are the same.
