The scene opened on a peculiar note, with Carson examining a bouquet of hybrid daffodils sent by the Puyallup daffodil festival. The vibrant multicolored flowers were a fitting metaphor for the night ahead; just as the flowers were a deviation from the traditional yellow, Williams was about to bring his own unique color to the show.
