I remember being over at my friends house, her dad was always watching Johnny Carson, I used to hate that show!!  BORING!!  I rarely watch any of those kind of shows.

Are you saying you were bored while watching the video on my original post?

I never really liked Johnny Carson or David Letterman for that matter. If I really have to pick would pick Jay Leno.

He was as good at satire as they come and his facial expressions were priceless.

Yes, the golf swing after the monologue, Karmack the Magificent, Ed Mcmahon, Doc Severinson.  The man had a way of just perfect timing even if nothing more than just that sideways look toward the audience.  He was great.  And I remember that last closing episode with Bette Midler.  I actually cried.  Thank you, oldbuddy, the man was a true legacy to what comedy truly was in a cleaner and better day of tv.

He set the bar pretty high! Most of his shows were hilarious!

I watched Johnny when I was babysitting.
I used to hope that the parents wouldn't come home until the very end of his show.
