Depends on the era - Sophie didn't always sing towards the last couple of decades, for example, as her vocal stamina and range became more limited.
And while all that was going on, we had really cheeky jazz singers who were really comediennes in disguise. I'm thinking of Blossom Dearie and some of the catchy but cheeky songs of the 50s and 60s.

Carson's issue with her wasn't with her being hired away at all. (All one has to do is look at the relationship he had with Joey Bishop: he encouraged him to leave for his own show, took his repeated calls for advice while a competitor, and brought him back when his show was cancelled.) His issue was strictly with Rivers not discussing her pending decision with him before accepting their offer.
Facts facts facts, pesky as they are we need them when we attempt to explain things, and all that.
yeah, good piece.
