Goodnight, Johnny.

I’ve said it before and I still mean it … 11:30pm just is not the same without the original Tonight Show theme song.


“And so it has come to this. I am one of the lucky people in the world. I found something that I always wanted to do and I have enjoyed every single minute of it.”*

We should all be so lucky.

    A few months ago, I went back and watched some of his interviews, and it was amazing how much better he was than anybody on TV now. His wit was fierce, and it was like he always knew exactly where the line was and found a way to make it look like he crossed it without actually crossing it (the line being good-natured ribbing versus being malicious to get a rise, which Letterman used to do on his old show sometimes before he went to CBS and got bland). Anyway, I’m ranting, but Jay Leno makes me ill having grown up watching Carson.
