For Johnny Carson fans

He was never afraid to take something and mess with it on camera.

I miss him.

Todays "night hosts" are poor shadows

Hilarious. Thanks, CI.

I was addicted to Johnny Carson's Tonite Show for many years. He's my second favorite after Graucho Marx.

Unlike his successors, he only made fun of himself, not other specific people.

yes, that was the essence....

Carson refused to script the interviews, and at the time those who were booked were willing to somewhat be themselves rather than act a part (usually as part of an effort to sell something). I liked that.

After Johnny I liked Letterman for awhile, but I cant watch any of them now.
