While "Two Story House" was riding high on the charts, Jones and Wynette made a disastrous appearance on "The Tonight Show" to promote it. In his book "George Jones: The Life and Times of a Honky Tonk Legend", Bob Allen recounts the episode: "George showed up with an ill-suited "uptown" hairdo that had been slapped on him at the last minute by an image consultant, and which made him look like something off the set of "Night of the Living Dead"...Before the two of them were even halfway through the song, George stopped suddenly, without warning, and confessed sheepishly to the vast live TV audience that he'd forgotten the words. The cameras panned briskly away. The programmers broke for a dog-food commercial, and the Possum was seen no more that night."
