And Now... Heeeeere's Jim

Jim Porter on Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1991. The pair talked for 22 minutes about whittling, something Mr. Porter explored as a hobby on his hilltop home two miles south of Galena near the park.

Of course there was a bigger reason he was on the popular nighttime national TV show. The "curtain" is actually the nearly a mile long continuous wooden chain he carved over a 7-year period.
