    When I was a kid my grampa watched Carson every single night and his laugh reverberated through the walls. I’ll never forget his laugh. God bless you, Johnny ❤️ for making my precious grandfather laugh. I’m watching these clips to remind me of those nights.

    I'll always remember the way the baby looked into Johnny's eyes, and his surprise and happiness at connecting that way with an animal.

    I am dead serious, you just can't help laughing right along with John at the incredibly fun expression on that most adorable baby orangutang's face, John Carson was not only priceless but matchless as well! You can see by all of those who have followed him! None of them even came close!

That little monkey was so darned cute. Johnny's been called the "King of Late Night TV"....and I entirely agree. There's been nobody quite like him before or since. Miss him lots.

    You could have the worst day ever, where nothing goes right and you just want to end it all....but then it's 11:30pm and you turn on the tv and there was a show that could make all that day's troubles just fade away as if they never happened. I miss Johnny Carson for those reasons, there will never be another like him, and late night has never been as funny since.

    • @LoveFlatfootin1
