      He understood the importance of intimacy late at night. He understood that he was late night company... a night light...a familiar person that visited us every night. It was innocent, informative, funny, and he kept it that way. No politics, no venom, no bias, just real talent and entertainment. Fantastic conversation. He helped us all to wind down and laugh after hard, busy days. He tucked us all into bed at night. He was family. It was just the greatest television EVER. We will never see his like again. Truly one of a kind. A TRUE LEGEND.

      He was absolutely brilliant and put the politicians who deserved it to shame with class! No one can do it like Johnny did as yet.. though the 3 or 4 late night hosts are good and very good but just don’t have Johnny’s talent.. he set the bar and it’s still there untouched like a shinning torch waiting.
      I think Norm MacDonald could have come close if he was given that break right after Johnny retired but no.. they had to give it to Leno.. 😳🙄😵‍💫 😥

    The only time I was ever able to watch Carson live was while visiting California in 1971, and Joey Bishop was the stand-in host (I don't really remember!) but was amazed at what went on, we got there around 4pm, and left by 6pm. The band played when ever they went to commercials which was neat hearing a number from start to finish. It wasn't taped in one go, they had to stop sometimes to do something, make changes or whatever. Some people were bored, some got angry and they left, but to me It was fun. But not seeing Johnny in person was disappointing.

    I miss them too, I thought that in life things get better when it comes too human experience. What you drive, who you love, what you see and hear, as you become older. But it’s not, it’s getting worse. There won’t be anything else to take the place of such great talent. One of the most important aspects in life is laughter. It makes you feel good, like sex feel good. I don’t do either anymore. And it brakes my heart. RIP. Johnny, we miss you, we sure could use you right now.

    Johnny Carson is by far better than all of these new night show hosts combined. Johnny Carson was a total comedian that did great jokes on everything other than politics and when he did jokes on politics it was jokes about all politicians in any of these political parties. Today these late night show hosts are only about politics and only about Trump but the jokes are more nasty than funny and these late night hosts are just an extension of what CNN and MSNBC do in their prime time but with these late night show hosts trying to turn what CNN and MSNBC talk about into comedy but they do a very poor job with turning this into comedy. Johnny Carson was a true late night comedian unlike what we are currently getting on prime time TV.

    OMG *40:24 “The Nut Museum”! All of the suggestiveness from Johnny and Elizabeth was just too much! Especially with the demeanor of such a sweet little old lady and her voice so reserve and demure. Honestly I don’t know if she was doing it on purpose or if was genuine naivety. 😂🤣😂
    P.S. *44:10 Look at the Bird Handler’s mouth very carefully... That bird is not singing the man is a ventriloquist! Still pretty funny though.

    They don't make them like Johnny Carson anymore. I loved watching this show. It's the one show you knew you would get to see a show with a little class. Nowadays these late night shows can't even come close to what Johnny did. That being said they are at least trying. Letterman got off track in his later seasons before he retired, and made his show too political. It made the show a bit of a turn off. When he was younger and first starting out, his shows were great! I never cared what political party he was affiliated with until he started making it an issue.

I open the show with a 5-minute Johnny and personation hitting all the current politics in news. Our show is built on all the things we love from Johnny Carson to Marilyn Monroe oh, David Copperfield, Judy Garland, Lucille Ball, all of that. Anyway, Johnny is always opening up for us! Alive and well!
