Sad.. One of the true greats of television. Johnny Carson made me laugh for 30 years, I missed him after he retired, there's been nothing like him since.

Damn, seems so many of the good ones from my era are gone now.

Nite, Johnny. We'll miss you.
Watching all these old Carson moments really makes what David Letterman said stand out.."all the rest of us are pretenders".
Goodnight Johnny
