A comic genius. What a quick mind! An era that will never be replaced or ever be better. Johnny and Rickles used to do some serious drinking and partying back in Nyc. Sadly most all of the legends are gone. Kids today that never watched the Tonight show don't know what they missed. Imo, no one will ever come close to Johnny Carson. He was smart, funny, and knew how to let his guests shine.

[@petersoda8787]

Only talk show host who came close in quality, in my opinion, was Craig Ferguson. I say this as a 22 year old, raised on my parents old Johnny Carson tapes, and Rat Pack DVDs. When it came to Rickles, Craig Ferguson could give it back. Lightning in a bottle. Rickles' humor is and always will be, absolutely unequaled. Craig and Johnny knew how to let him roll, and give a little back when the timing was right.
