Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

He was the best. I was listening this morning and on one show they said he occasionally wrote some jokes for letterman. When letterman used them he always followed the punch line with Carson's trademark golf swing. I thought that was just paying tribute, not acknowledging the source. He'll be missed.

Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Well, since he's been retired for a decade, it's hard for me to be as sad as when he retired.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Noone could pilot a desk like Johnny Carson. He always came across as a decent and caring man, which is why I think people opened up to him in the interviews.

"Take the Ventura Freeway to another freeway until you get to the Slauson cutoff. Stop the car. Get out of your car. Cut off your Slauson. Get back in your car and travel until you come to ...the FORK in the road."

Gotta love Art Fern.

Got spare money?

He seemed like a nice guy, but I always thought he was enormously over-rated. Even in high school I thought most of the jokes in his famous monologues were utterly lame.

However, one thing I appreciated was his enthusiasm for debunking psychics and the like. For instance, he worked closely with James Randi to show that Uri Geller (who, back in the 70s was widely believed to be a genuine psychic) was a phoney. Few other talk show hosts (even today) are willing to do so.

I believe her name is Carol Wayne. Johnny used her for various recurring characters in his skits, like the Art Fern Tea Time Movies. Oddly enough, she always played a dumb blonde...
