It was always a treat when we were finally old enough to sit at the foot of our parents bed and watch Johnny. He was the best.

in the history of television. It never, ever gets old.

Johnny Carson was the once and forever king of late night television. Smoothest, smartest delivery of any comedian, and no one could respond better to a bombed joke than Johnny. I still miss him a lot.

Who that ever saw Carnac, Floyd R. Turbo, American, or Art Fern will ever forget them.
