Johnny Carson

I miss the days of Carson hosting the Tonight Show. Conan could learn a lot by watching Carson's Comedy Classics.

As a little girl, I remember nights when I couldn't sleep, mom would let me watch the Tonight Show, that was good stuff. HEY-OH!!!!

Loved how he flirted with the ladies-Dyan Cannon, Angie Dickinson-
Watched an ad for Johnny Carson's Greatest Shows today-bought back a lot of great laughs!

Perhaps it's because of my age or a generation thing but to me Conan is not funny, nor is Letterman. To me their programs are me about ME where Jay was/is more about the guests. Johnny was great but it was never about him, it was for the consumer.

I do watch him now and then if there is nothing else on. He's not bad.

Lol, the answer in the Carnac envelope was swine flu vaccine. The question was " a cure for a disease that doesn't exist?"

I agree, Conan is not funny. He is taking a show thats been great for years, with Carson and Leno and running it into the ground. Lettermen is alright but I kind of watch them for who their guest are each night. I find myself jumping back and forth between them sometimes.

I hate Leno. You close your eyes and the big-chinned bastard whines just as bad as Andy Rooney
