FOR THE RECORD: OLYMPIC GAMES: 1924 gold (100m, 400m freestyle; 4x200m freestyle relay), bronze (water polo); 1928 gold (100m freestyle; 4x200m freestyle relay); WORLD RECORDS: 51; U.S. NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS: 52; Played Tarzan in 16 movies. Johnny Weissmuller holds no current world swimming records and by today's Olympic standards, you might say he never swam very fast, but you can't get anyone who ever saw him swim say that there ever was a greater swimmer. This was the verdict of 250 sportswriters at A.P.'s mid-century poll and it is still the verdict 15 years later.

I remember the show becasue Carson convinced Weissmuller to give the Tarzan yell and he did. Although the yell was a little "broken" the crowd still gave a standing ovation to a real gentlemen.
Yes...I think he's still swimming!

Johnny Weissmüller (born June 2, 1904 -- January 20, 1984) was a Romanian-born ethnic German, who was one of the world's best swimmers in the 1920s, winning five Gold medals and one Bronze medal. He won fifty-two US National Championships and set sixty-seven World record. After his swimming career, he became the sixth actor to portray in films, a role he played in twelve motion pictures. Dozens of other actors have also played Tarzan, but Weissmuller is by far the best known. His character's distinctive,Tarzan yell is still often used in films.
