Johnny Carson died today at the age of 79.

For both littleseeker and I, The Tonight Show was the first show we were ever allowed to stay up late and watch. Hard to believe he retired 13 years ago, it seems like yesterday.

He DIED???


And he was kinda handsom for an old man, too.

Yes he will be truely missed.

WB

adieu Johnny

``I bid you a very heartfelt good night.''

Johnny Carson, Tonight Show

what did he die of anyway?

'The Tonight Show' went to hell when he retired, IMO.

NBC confirmed the death on its Website. His nephew, Jeff Sotzing, told the Associated Press, "Mr. Carson passed away peacefully early Sunday morning. He was surrounded by his family, whose loss will be immeasurable. There will be no memorial service."

Sotzing did not disclose any further details, including time of death, where Carson died or the exact cause of death.


Since Johhny had a quadruple bypass in 1999 I would say it was heart faiure.

Fare the well to one of the greats of comedy. You will be missed good Sir.

i loved johnny. RIP

Here's a golf swing for you, Johnny.

May the great and powerful Carnac rest in peace.

I remember sitting up with my grandparents when I was a little girl watching him...and adoring the man.

Good night Johnny...you're going to be missed.

I saw The Tonight Show last night. They did a good job for Johnny.
He was a good man and will be missed.
