Johnny Carson was born in Nebraska on this day in 1925. He took over The Tonight Show in the early 1960’s and became an entertainment “fix” for many of us.
My favorite two scenes were Carnac and those exotic animals on the set. It was great to see Carson’s face when he was holding the little animal.
Carson left a lot of memories, specially watching my father struggle with the punch lines!
You can get those old shows on DVD.
PS: You can listen to my show (Canto Talk) and follow me on Twitter.
