The Legal System Confirms It: Bonds Is Innocent

Back in the day, Johnny Carson got his start in television by hosting a game show called Who Do You Trust?

Unfortunately, Johnny's not around anymore. The game show is; it's just staged in a courtroom now.

And Carson would still be the perfect host for it.
