Carson was down a step from Paar but worlds better than the smarmy louts on late night TV today.

I liked when they showed old movies on channel 9 after the news. I'd rather watch "Sante Fe Trail" for the 20th time than anything these late night "hosts" have going.

Now that's funny! I loved Jack Parr but also Steve Allen who was wild and crazy as well as zany but Carson that's another story in its self!Carson down a step,I don't think so,he was and will be forever the "KING" of late night.Along with ED and Doc nobody can or will ever touch them.I watched all the previously mentioned and they all had their own qualities but after watching Johnny's show from the very beginning to his last show WOW he was great and you have to remember the eras or times each one of these great people were on TV as each of them began their shows.As a new one came in the comedy of their time was shifting so they played or acted to it,so of course someone like Carson could not be compared accurately to the others and vice-versa and Carson was the perfect fit for the time he was on,cripes he'd still be perfect but alas that can never be."LONG LIVE THE KING" if only in great memories...............Rick....P/S Thank you all wherever you are!
