Johnny Carson (1925-2005)

I know that I am a month late on this one, but, tough cookies.

Host from the late show from 1962-1992, Johnny Carson invented interest in late night talk shows.

Johnny had quite a storied background, from serving in the Navy in World War II, to ventriloquism and a radio announcer. Private and reserved, Carson kept his private life private, except for the announcement in 2002 that he was suffering from Lung Cancer due to a lifetime of smoking.

I never saw any of his shows, but just from what I hear, he was a great talent to miss.
