Something on the lighter side...

While having dinner with Ray Nelson a couple of weeks ago, I brought up Cleve's appearance on the Johnny Carson show.

Ray was not familiar with that bit of polygraph trivia, suggesting to me that many others are not either.

When I attended the Backster school in 2004, Cleve told us of his experience on the Carson show, as well as TV appearances with Dr. Joyce Brothers.

Cleve also talked of his work gauging studio audience reactions to various stimuli with individual GSR devices, which members of the studio audience would hold. This was in the 1960s, in NYC.

Does anyone have any information or details about these, or other instances, of Cleve's work in television?

BTW, Cleve's experience on the Carson show came up in the Jeffrey MacDonald trial. Here's a link to the transcript:
