Sad. Johnny was insane great! King of monologue to say the least! The Tonight Show should have been retired, Fallon is about as funny as a train wreck.
Carson was amazing and he set the bar for all others who followed. Leno was also awesome, in a different sort of new generation way. Letterman was fantastic in another way and perfect as the host of the Late Show, but not the right fit for the Tonight Show. Kimmel and Colbert are mean nasty unfunny partisan jerks. Fallon isn’t politically nasty like Kimmel or Colbert, but he is a total lightweight and his incessant fake giggling at every word a guest says is very annoying. Craig Ferguson was the funniest of the new generation, and it was weird he didn’t get the nod to succeed Letterman instead of Colbert. Surprisingly, Conan who was horrible during his short Tonight Show stint, ended up later putting the closest resemblance to the (Carson/Leno) Tonight Show together while on TBS. Unfortunately, nobody watches TBS so he never got much of a chance with ratings. Now Ferguson and Conan have left late night altogether. For my money, Fox’s Gutfield is the best late night show on now, but that’s more a reflection on how sucky the others are rather than on how great he is….
R.I.P. Johnny, Ed, and Larry. As of April 2021, Doc is 93; Bob Newhart is 91; Anka is 79...
Loved Ed Mcmahon. Wonderful co-host of the tonight show and wonderful host of Star Search from 1983 to 1995.
I grew up watching these Gentlemen. Classic LEGENDS!!! R.I.P. Johnny, Ed & Larry!!!

@11:52 I recognize the actor from a Saved By The Bell episode. He played a substitute teacher.

Ed and Johnny were liberals.
