Johnny Carson Asked The Audience If Anyone Played Piano. This Guy Raised His Hand, And His Life Forever Changed

On December 19, 1985, David Tolley was just another guy in the Tonight Show studio audience when Johnny Carson said,

“Horatio Gutierrez (a classical pianist) couldn’t come tonight because he accidentally shut his hand in a car door and didn’t want to chance playing the Tonight Show. Can anybody here play the piano?”

David volunteered; he played “Memory” (from the Cats musical). The next day, his life changed forever.

When you know something,you have to step forward – it might be extraordinary.
