Johnny Carson

[VirginiaHuguenot]

I don't mean to distract folks with entertainment news on this Lord's Day, but Johnny Carson has passed away.

He was a funny guy who will be missed greatly.

Saw this earlier, it's sad.

I remember as a boy what a treat is was to stay up late and watch the Tonight Show. My parents never watched him. I'm not sure how I started watching him.

He'll be missed.

79 isn't bad. LORD willing, I might make it to that! Of the 30 years he was on TV, I think I probably watched his show, off and on, for about 25 years of that. For a while, it was one of those "must see" programs, because of all the stars and notables he had on.

However, when he had a "serious" guest on the program, I often found his interviewing to be a bit shallow. Of course, he wasn't a journalist.

Come to think of it, that was a GOOD thing!
