http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/01/23/carson.obit/index.html I remember watching him from time to time before Leno took over, even though I was only 8 when he retired. He always made me laugh. Alex
Surprised at no responses on this thread so far. Carson was tops! He had an ecclectic array of guests, was a good interviewer, great at doing character roles, quick-witted. I can't say enough about him.
Carson said "If life was fair Elvis would be alive and all the impersonators would be dead" and for that he will always have my utmost respect. It is one of the truest things ever said.
i loved johhny i actually stopped watching the tonight show after he left, i switched to david lettermen. he was a very funny man!
i'm from Australia so i have only seen him on Entertainment Tonight specials e.t.c, he seemed to have a very simple humor, didn't try to hard. That's i think what made him so funny. I think he was a better looking older man.
