There's a 24/7 Johnny Carson channel on PlutoTV. I watch it occasionally when I can't sleep.
A few days after Bob Saget died, they played a 1980s episode in which Johnny interviewed Bob. |

As one who was born in the 70’s I was privileged to stay up late some nights and be able to watch him. I agree, there has been no one else better. The man was a talent for sure. I also say young David Letterman was a distant 2nd…..

Yooooooouuuuuuu are correct sir. And Doc Severinsen was the greatest trumpet player of all time. And Ed McMahon never visited my house with a giant check from AFP, not Publishers Clearinghouse, although I would have taken either.

A long time ago I hosted a party and had several old recordings of Tonight Show highlights. Someone put one in and almost immediately everyone was glued to the TV and stayed for hours. It was hilarious. Johnny was the best.

Antenna TV, Mon-Fri 10PM/E.
Carson is magnificent, as was Craig Ferguson. Late night TV has not been the same since both ended their shows. I'd always hoped that Ferguson would have taken his show to a premium cable channel, like HBO. |

Carson is a distant relative of mine. So distant it had to be traced back to be confirmed. Nonetheless I never pictured Cobb being funny, or smiling, or being really funny and smiling a lot.

I'm watching some old stuff from the late 70's. 90% of the political jokes could be written today about Biden and the current situation.
And yes, he's the best, by far. |

I used to bag Ed McMahons groceries at Bots supermarket every week when I was 12. I was a dick. Never met Johnny but the only other name people raved about back then was Jack Parr?

There are a couple of others that I enjoyed, many that I despise, but Carson was and is the GOAT. |

I watched him as a kid many years into my adulthood.
I was in Army Aviation back in the 90’s. We were setting up a new Apache unit in NC. It made the news because of the woodpecker around Ft Bragg. The treehuggers were upset because of the woodpeckers. Johnny caught wind of it and said something on the lines of “They’re worried about helicopter noise affecting a bird that beats his head against trees?”

The Tonight Show was the pinnacle of entertainment for years. Carson was the best at his craft.
Always used to enjoy The Tonight Show when a young David Letterman was the guest host. IIRC, Carson thought Letterman should have been "heir" to The Tonight Show. |
