Johnny Carson

[Lightkeeper]

Say goodbye to Johnny Carson. He dominated late night TV for 30 years. I think people still miss him and he retired 14 years ago. Will St. Peter be saying "Heeeere's Johnny?"

 

[Rex]

To be honest I really don't know much about it. I guess he was a man of another generation.

 

[cardero]

That is a shame. He really was a memorable talk show host. In honor of his memory mrscarrdero and I will roll "The Best Of Carson" DVD tonight.

 

[Lightkeeper]

I have a video tape of his last show. I wish I had the next to the last show because it was a classic with Bette Midler.

 

[SK2005]

I'm watching it on the news right now.

 

[SK2005]

He was a cute old man.

 

[robtex]

Wow he will be missed.

 

[½ Sane]

See you soon Johnny. :162:

JOhnny Carson was worth staying up till 4am just to watch

 

[jewscout]

Holy Crap! Not Carson too!

 

[No*s]

Sad...I didn't watch much late-night TV, but for me, Carson was awesome...which says something.

 

[huajiro]

I grew up with him.....I am starting to feel a little depressed, all thses good people gone.

 

[Scuba Pete]

I heard just a blurb... I liked his shows the best. Letterman is OK, and whathisname just bores me to tears. But Johnny was truly funny.

 

[Lightkeeper]

I have missed Johnny since he retired. Part of his charm was that he was so natural and didn't want the limelight after he retired.
