Johnny Carson Dies...

My all-time favorite late-night TV host died this morning - Johnny Carson. He was 79. What a shame - I really liked the guy! He was what every comedian and talk-show host since aspire to be.

May God Bless he and his family.

He will be missed.

I heard this morning that he smoked non-filter cigarettes up until he died! It's amazing that he lived to be that old!! I never got to see his show, just some clips of it, but he seemed like a very funny guy!

He certainly had a lot of great moments, didn't he?

I thought Jay Leno was going to start crying last night, he barely made it through the monologue. I'm actually impressed he was able to.

I have a friend that STILL says "Neato Bandito"...he was missed once he handed that show off to Jay. I feel bad I missed that monologue. Talent like that comes along only rarely.

He is a phony!

While on most subjects I would agree that Leno is a phony, Carson helped make him a star, so in this case I believe he truly is a bit broken about Johnny passing away.

I never watched Carson but even I know he was top dog in his day. All I have to say is 79 years old is a good run. Personally if I hit 85 put me down.

My wifes great grandpa is 98 years old. 79 is a dang good run.
RIP Mr.Carson
