When:
Short story:
When popular singer Ed Ames (of The Ames Brothers) appears on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in New York City, USA, he is asked by Carson to demonstate his well-known tomahawk throwing abilities. A wooden panel with an outline of a cowboy is brought onto the stage and, when Ames takes his throw, the tomahawk hits the "cowboy" square in the groin with the handle pointing upward. This leads to a prolongued burst of laughter from the audience, which has been called the longest sustained laugh by a live audience in television history.
