Oh man, he will certainly be missed. He sure did introduce a lot of
newcomers to the scene. Leno has nothing on Carson.

Carson kept me up late many nights over the years. He certainly was tops.
No one today comes even close to his easy, likable humor. .



Johnny Carson was one of a kind, truly a legend on tv and no one will ever
come close to the type of class, humility and affability he displayed, night
after night. Unlike so many of today's tv hosts, Johnny Carson understood
his place in an interview...he knew when to talk, and more importantly, when
to shut up and let his guest do the talking.

Many have tried to duplicate what he did for 30 years on the Tonight Show,
no one has ever, or will ever come close. Without Johnny, there would have
been no Jay Leno, no David Letterman...no Joan Rivers. No Jerry Seinfeld.
Some may argue that wouldn't have been a tremendous loss...but you can't
discount the impact Johnny Carson had on the entertainment industry during
his 30 years of reign over late night television.

I've missed him the past 12+ years since he's been off television.
His passing today just makes me sad.
