One of the most popular entertainers in the industry, Johnny Carson, has passed away at age 79, reportedly of emphysemia.

All of the late-night entertainers on television today can give credit to Johnny Carson. Perhaps many of us can credit him for giving us reason to lie awake in bed after 11 PM every week night for many years. I for one, am happy to salute him for so many absolutely funny jokes and skits over my young adult years.

Good night, Johnny, and thanks for so many memories!
