WHO IS THIS MAN?
I FELT 100 YEARS OLD THE OTHER DAY.IN OUR OFFICE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE GREAT JOHNNY CARSON WHERE EVERYONE WAS WEIGHING IN ON WHAT THEY LIKED MOST ABOUT THE KING OF LATE NIGHT. ONE PERSON COMMENTED THAT THEY LOVED HIS "CARNAC THE MAGNIFICENT" BIT.....I REALLY ENJOYED HIS CHARACTER AS ART FERN ON THE TEA TIME MOVIE SEGMENT...ANOTHER STAYED UP FOR THE MONOLOGUE AND ALWAYS WAITED FOR THE JOKE TO GO SIDEWAYS.....HIS COMEBACKS WERE ALWAYS CLASSIC. OUR YOUNGEST EMPLOYEE ASKED US WHO JOHNNY CARSON WAS???? WE ALL LOOKED AT EACH OTHER IN SHOCK & AWE. YOU ALMOST BECOME ANGRY AT SOMEONE WHO HAS NO CLUE WHO JOHNNY WAS, BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO GET A GRIP ON REALITY....JOHNNY HAS BEEN NOT ONLY GONE FROM THIS EARTH FOR A WHILE, HE ALSO HAS BEEN OFF THE TONIGHT SHOW SINCE 1992. LENO & LETTERMAN ARE FINE...EVERYONE HAS THEIR FAVORITE....YOUNG PEOPLE THINK CONAN O'BRIEN IS A COMEDY GENIUS. IT IS A SHAME THEY NEVER HAD CARSON TO MAKE THE COMPARISON. YOU MIGHT THINK, WELL...BEFORE MY TIME THERE WAS FRED ALLEN AND JACK PARR. THEY WERE SPECIAL, BUT NOBODY HOLDS A CANDLE TO JOHNNY CARSON. IN A COUPLE OF YEARS CONAN TAKES THE TONIGHT SHOW DESK FROM JAY. IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO WATCH HIM AS STAR OF THE SHOW THAT HAS MADE NBC MORE MONEY THAN ANY OTHER IN NETWORK HISTORY.

You are right- Carson is the best. But, Jon Stewart is funnier than Letterman, Leno, and Conan.
a legend to be sure
Joey Bishop passed on the 17th.
a long time guest host for Carson
