Sigh... He entertained people for many years... the king of late night talk shows. Nobody was better!
MSNBC is reporting that Jonny Carson has died of emphysema. No details yet, but it's listed as breaking news.
So long, Johnny.

RIP Baron O
Whenever I was up late enough when I was in high school, I watched Carson.
RIP, Johnny.

Late night was never the same after he left.
RIP Johnny.

I remember staying up and watching his show when I was a kid. Though summertime was really the only time I could stay up that late when I was young.

I admit I only learned who he was after he'd already stopped doing the Tonight Show, but he was one of the greats of TV entertainment, I know that much.
He will be missed by many.
Carnac says...
A true icon...

Shortly before he retired, they had a syndicated daily show highlighting his thirty years of skits on the Tonight Show. I think it was called Carson's Comedy Classics. That may still be floating around somewhere.

Never heard of him.

This sucks. I grew up watching him. Goodbye Mr. Carson.
he's such a likable guy. amazingly he was fairly shy I heard. Gives hope for shy guys like me. Maybe I can get my own late night talk show someday. Oh waiti, I lack personality and sense of humour. oh well.
you probably haven't heard of him because when he's not working he likes his privacy. He's one of the few guys in hollywood who doesn't have a gigantic ego, and needs to be on television and in the spotlight all the time. After he retired, I don't think I ever saw him on television.

If at first you don't succeed, take the bloody hint and give up.
He had a good life.

Carnac was my favorite skit. Great pictures Ming. Thanks.
