Wow, here's a guy who, despite his many wives, divorces and homes lost to mudslides managed to keep a pretty good reputation intact for his entire career. Johnny Carson, the man I grew up watching well after my bed time managed to do almost everything right. His only mistakes from my point of view were not fighting for Letterman to be his replacement and smoking. Aside from that, I have and always will respect him tremendously. He tought me that humor could be a great many things, from smart, to randy, to silly, to sweet.
Late night hasn't been the same since he left and now, in some ways, neither will the entertainment biz. Take care, Johnny! I have no doubt that you'll be cracking them up in the afterlife. If there is a St. Pete at the gates, I hope he doesn't rip off Ed McMahon's trademark phrase...
You know the one I mean...
Here's
to Johnny!
