I'm sorry to say this to the current crop of late night hosts and hosts or the past 30 years, , but there will NEVER be another Johnny Carson.

Live long & prosper...Doc.

An incredible talent. And I learned something about YouTube, when I got to the 5:39 mark it said "Most replayed", don't recall ever seeing that before.

And Johnny Carson is truly one of a kind... so quick on the uptake, never misses a beat. "There ARE going to be some people going home!"
