Any thought on the passing of Johnny Carson?
What's your best memory?

Mine is when Stevie Wonder was a guess and Carson had been told that
a blind person could tell a lot by touching the face of someone.

He then offered his face. After 30 seconds of touching and feeling the face and head all over, Stevie Wonder said deadpan: "I can tell you're Black!"

The crowd roared in laughs, Carson nearly fell off his chair in a fit of
laughing. I remember many other moments for instance when Jim Fowler
would come with exotic animals. Carson was always a good sport with him.

May Johnny Carson rest in peace :!: :!: :!:

When Carson was in his prime....I wouldn't go to bed without watching his show.....I have missed it ever since he went off the air. I know Leno is good....but I just have never watched him, knowing he would never match Carson...at least in my book. I liked it when the camera would catch him stuffing out his smoke right after commercial breaks.

Conan is taking Leno's spot in couple years when Leno retires.

I love Conan..he isn't afraid to act stupid for some laughs.

I'm too young to have seen carson, what was his trademark, what kinds of things did he do that made him so popular? :?:

Oh, his facial expressions and his dry humor.
