Johnny Carson Dead at 79
Johnny Carson, the quick-witted “Tonight Show” host who became a national institution putting his viewers to bed for 30 years with a smooth nightcap of celebrity banter and heartland charm, died Sunday. He was 79.
…NBC said Carson died of emphysema - a respiratory disease that can be attributed to smoking - at his Malibu home.
My Way News
I always liked Dave better, but Johnny had my respect. Johnny was the King, the man, the patriarch of late night, while Dave was the rebellious cousin. I liked Leno until he took over. Johnny retired too soon, so I don’t even know how to describe Leno’s planned retirement.
Respect.
