MP Video - The Tonight Show
This show lasted 30 years with Johnny Carson. It's true that he had over 20,000 celebrities as guests but he was a great comedian on the first place. Not only he always made great and funny comments about what went on the world in his monologue, the show also had segments which showed how talented and smart he was. Of course, he was backed up by a brilliant writing team as well. I never got tired of watching it whenever I had time (and a TV set available) during my college years.
I hope someday our own talk show hosts will be like him so their show will last long enough.
This piece shows why Johnny Carson will always be the master.
