WOW, that is a young Jonny Carson!! Was Ed McMahon with him at that time?
You can’t even prove your name is yours by documentation you have not produced to be challenged!
That means hearsay extends a very wide umbrella of coverage.
I liked the “Never plead guilty” part.

You might be surprised at what is considered hearsay at law

“information communicated by another, gossip,” mid-15c., from phrase to hear say (Middle English heren seien, Old English herdon secgan). The notion is “hear (some people) say;” from hear (v.) + say (v.). As an adjective from 1570s. Hearsay evidence (1670s) is that which the witness gives not from his own perception but what was told to him.
