Johnny Carson dies at age 79
A legend of late night television, Johnny Carson, died peacefully Sunday morning.
I’ve been described as a “night-owl” and some of my greatest memories of staying up late involve the Tonight Show which of course Johnny hosted for so many years.
His final show was one of the most gracious, dignified broadcasts that I’ve ever witnessed.
Recently it came out that Johnny, who had always favored David Letterman, would occasionally send jokes to Dave to use on his show.
A late night genius who shaped several aspects of modern day show format and content because it worked for Johnny. A lot of people have found out that one thing was missing…the genius of Johnny.
His legacy lives on in his work, but he will surely be missed by friends, family, and fans alike because he was a good, gracious, funny, and brilliant man.
