    Craig Ferguson said that. He said that when Johnny retired, they should have renamed the show. Jay Leno Tonight was his suggestion. It would have given Jay the "Tonight" name in the title but not trample on Johnny's legacy.

    Shows now have forgotten Johnny’s rule: don’t comment on social issues, or you won’t be funny anymore. Jay Leno and David Letterman respected this rule and they were the last of the truly funny shows.

    TV is a dying medium. Many people get their entertainment from streaming and internet. I won't necessarily disagree with your "egomaniac" comment, but the market share has changed that maybe the personalities on TV are an effect rather than a cause. The world is changing and in-home internet was taking off just a few years after Johnny retired in 1992. I think my folks had dial-up starting in 1995. The way we consumed news and entertainment has drastically changed with the rise of consumer internet.

He reminds me of an era that we lived and will never get back, kinda like the original Star Trek series or The Walton's which I did watch a lot of, it was a magical era looking back.

    My first thought in seeing this another time after many years, pertained to erosion and rising sea level. I wonder if the property has ever been impacted by storms or been water damaged. The interview was unique, particularly in seeing Carson at home. I did not find the exchange very penetrating, though there were opportunities had Walters recognized them or chosen to follow up. Historically, there's meaning, but mostly shallow fluff...

Beautiful women, which his wives certainly were, do not seek divorce from a man as attractive in so many ways as was Johnny Carson.....

    Carson did not stay away from politics. I watched The Tonight Show all through the 1970s and 1980s. He dealt with it in a way that would make people laugh. For example, he spoke in this video of the faux pas of James Watt (who had been Reagan's Secretary of the Interior) in a light-hearted, funny way.
