  I still remember my favorite scene with him. Someone was on there showing Johnny a monkey and the monkey all of a sudden JUMPED and I swear must have hit the roof of the studio. It was a HUGE jump. Johnny started looking up like wtf just happened and blurted out, "it's like it had a spring up its @ss" and Ed McMahon just started absolutely roaring. I was crying I was laughing so hard.

  Well, then there's also the famous one with some woman that was on there and she had all these potato chips that looked like famous people. The woman looked away and when she did Johnny reached down and picked up another bowl of chips and took one and put it in his mouth and crunched it and the look on her face was priceless.

  Wow, he led an interesting life. Married 4 times, 3 of them named joan or joanna,last one, currently married to, Alexis, he was 61 and she in her 30's when they married. He had 3 sons, one ,m Ricky, was killed in car accident in 91, which may have had something to do with his retirement in 92.

  This is just too sad, with Dick clark having a stroke this year and now Johnny. And Captin Kangaroo died last year too. All my childhood TV favs.

  I feel so old, all our childhood entertainers are dying. Johnny Carson was a true comedian, he'll be greatly missed. Maybe they'll come out with a DVD set of his best shows or something. That'd be great to see and have a good laugh!

  Too bad. I just wish he had done some appearances on talk shows before he died. I really missed him when he left the air and then never did an interview on tv or magazine since he left. Just walked off the stage into the sunset.

  He was a great tv personality. I remember always watching his show when I got home from the 3-11 shift. He will be missed.

  Johnny Carson was unique. It is this unique potential of each individual that is beautiful. Yet, some feel that that beauty is made by evolutionary processes. We see the glint in his eye, the sincerity, the largeness of the man; no, I do not believe he is a product of evolution. I never will.

  What a class act.... and so funny. He was clever enough to flirt with racey jokes, but talented enough to know where the decency line was and never cross it.
