Here's Johnny!: Thirty Years of America's Favorite Late-Night Entertainment

What a delight! This well written, well researched book focuses a bit on Carson's life but more of what it was like on The Tonight Show - what Carson was like as host and what it was like to work with him. A history of The Tonight Show and its various hosts is provided and then the book goes into the almost 30-year history of the show with Carson at the helm. Chapters focus on the monologue, celebrity guests, civilian guests, memorable moments, the shows with animal guests, and the NBC pages. The book had numerous laugh out loud moments as the author relates what happened on the show or behind the scenes. The book is full of numerous photographs and extras that include a lot of trivia and interesting stories about Carson, his guests, show more and even audience members. The author even had the opportunity for a short interview with the reclusive Carson. The author concludes that television like Carson's Tonight Show will never happen again and I have to agree with him on that. A great book for anyone who is a fan of The Tonight Show or Carson. show less
