I watched The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in my teens till he retired in 1992. I grieve his and Ed's passing, as well as Tommy Newsome, and Ed Shanunnasy, and I STILL LOVE DOC, as always, through the years , and into the next century and more. Johnny's life was a true drama, and success story, one of scandal and truth, of jokes and celebrity, and the most popular show to be watched by so many, it can never be forgotten. Regardless of unknown private human flaws and things not associated with the show, Johnny and the whole Tonight Show family will forever live in our hearts. Truly wonderful memories.

You used to have a certain something that made you a "personality" in order to be a successful host. Now they use people that are more like someone that you knew from school with nothing really special about them. You have Jimmy Fallon who acts totally insane with his fake, forced laughter or Jimmy Kimmel, who has a face for radio and absolutely no charm or anything special at all. They could get anyone off of the street, and now with Podcasts, they literally do.

@@Valkonnen I think audiences have gotten less sophisticated so what is served up is a reflection of that. I actually think Jimmy Kimmel is quite a wonderful talk show host, but ratings are key and it seems what people want these days are surface "interviews" and a lot of quick action-- like games and gags. I miss some truly great interviews that Johnny did. That would apparently not bring the ratings today. Jimmy Fallon is painful to watch-- talk about trying too hard. But he gets great ratings.

I was making deliveries in Malibu and while driving down Pacific Coast Highway I saw and recognized Johnny Carson driving his Corvette. He pulled up alongside of me and I just wanted to get a better look at. The light turned green and Johnny took off. I was driving my work truck and as best I could I was practically racing to try and keep up with him. The f course he floored it leaving me in his dust but for those brief moments I was just that close to one of my all time favorite entertainers. I watch the clips on KZbin and even today long after he left the airwaves and this existence Johnny Carson STILL makes me laugh out loud. Thanks for the memories.

@@yousuck12268 Yes, as part of Johnny's contract, the show was pared down to 60 minutes from 90 in November 1980. The show format changed as hosts changed. For a time in the 50s after Allen left, the show was named "Tonight! America After Dark." The Steve Allen days were different from the Jack Paar days, which were different from Johnny's. The show was originally 105 minutes Monday thru Friday, from 11:15pm to 1am. Johnny stopped doing the first 15 minutes starting in February 1965, leaving that to Ed McMahon and Skitch Henderson. NBC affiliates ran local news from 11 to 11:30, and Johnny, understandably, wanted to save his monologue until all NBC stations were in place. Eventually, that first 15 minutes was dropped altogether.

Irritating --- yea, Johnny was VERY well read....as stated by many people by one in particular was Freddie DeCordova, who went to Northwestern and law school at Harvard and once said that Johnny was incredibly well-read.... He was smart as a whip. His show carried NBC for years and years and was responsible for 1/3 the income of the entire network. That's why Johnny was paid several million per year (back then that was unheard of). DeCordova at his peak only made 1/4 of that in any one year.

Got to see one tonight show live years ago about 80-81 very different to see it in person. You see a little more for instance every band member was individually announced as they came on stage. You could read the Q cards before Johnny told the jokes. He was definitely a master host and showman, as Ed McMahon said once Johnny was a class act all the way! I got lucky and happened to be there the night Bob Hope was also there so i saw 2 Hollywood Greats at once other guess included the women from BJ and the Bears. and a comedian that i have since forgotten though you know he had to be pretty good to get on with Carson. Took the studio tour there once also very interesting.Thanks for sharing this with fans and who isn't a great fan of this man? Far out man!!!

I used to do on-camera Acting (I was sort of one of the Jay's version of "Art Carson players" actors) and then did voiceovers (for TTSWJL) from about 1997 through 2007 and used to have fond memories of wandering those same hallways, getting my delicious flavored coffees, etc. before I would go in the booth (to record) from the backstage area there, etc. I miss those days - fond memories.

The Tonight Show's golden/platinum age was when it was aired from Burbank. Carson will always be missed. I sadly was born after Carson's run (my birth year is 1996). So I grew up with Carson's successors (Leno and Letterman). But I am glad to see the Carson stuff on KZbin and Antenna TV (I turn to Antenna Tv when I'm not in the mood to watch what's on Fallon, Kimmel, or Colbert). I love watching James Corden's Late Late Show because Corden is funny to me. To be honest, Carson will be the eternal king of Late Night. Leno and Letterman are the Dukes. James Corden, in my opinion, lives up to the tittle of Prince. Back to Carson, I enjoyed the Carnac the magnificent bits a lot as well as the monologues. There's a bit I like about the show. Fallon's version of the Tonight Show honestly falls flat in comparison to his two predecessors. I wish that the classics were more appreciated by folks of my age group. Nothing will ever be like the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson.

I was a contestant hopeful for the daytime version of 'The Weakest Link.' They brought us contestants in through the 'Artist's Entrance' seen here, past the giant billboards of Carson and into a large rehearsal room. Later, they took us onto the set of Weakest Link and we all stood in a circle when our 'tour guide' told us we were standing in the old Carson studio, that NBC had built a new studio for Leno. Someone asked where Carson did his monologue from, and the guy pointed straight at me and said "right where this man is standing."

"When Johnny returned to the air after his son Ricky died. I've studied that tape like the Zapruder film, where Carson did this tribute at the end of the show, talking about his son, a nature photographer, who had died when he was shooting on a mountain and his car rolled over him and took him down the mountain. So Carson goes through a normal show with no mention until the very end. He's clearly going a little bit long with the tribute, but there are all these majestic nature shots, and Carson is talking about his son-heart-wrenching. Carson was never so naked on the air. And then his eyes start darting over to where Freddie is, and you can see a little register of annoyance. I learned later that Fred was over there actually giving him the 'Wrap it up' sign [to indicate that the show was running over]. That was July 1991, so what happened next was Johnny exploded in the after-show meeting in his office. He took Freddie off the floor, and he was never allowed back on. That was the deathblow."

Yep, that's exactly what happened. Ironically, when Freddie died he gave his widow a pretty big check(I think 100 grand) because he knew Freddie was horrible with his money.

25 years ago johnny left the tonight show. May 22 1992. . He still number #1. It was one ov his worst times in life. When you let something go .when he woke up the next day looked out the window with probably tears in his eyes worst gut feeling you have when you leave something or someone for so long and sed its over. for me . but he's legend. he he still lives on. and we all will remember who was king ov late night tv.

It is sad that many of his shows had been erased , but many of the NBC Stations around The U.S. kept the tapes of the shows , so it is very enjoyable to be able to watch the old shows . I was born in 59 , so I did not get into his show until the late 60's and early seventies , I still recall the 71 New Years Eve show with Shecky Green , it was great . My story is a total it sucks story , my girl called her friend in Studio City , she had a friend that worked at NBC , her friend arranged for us to have VIP passes to see the studio and watch one of the last Carson shows , anyway The Rodney King riot's happened , so no show ,after we had flown all the way down From Toronto , Ontario up in Canada to see Carson . Although we did get to go to on a Universal Studio tour.

Johnny Carson never forced his political beliefs on his audience or said what party he was part of, unlike the talk show hosts of today. As far as I'm concerned The Tonight Show died when Johnny Carson retired.
