MAGA has come to a fork in the road...

30. I was one of those insomniacs who stayed up late to watch him.

And then I'd watch Tom Snyder after Johnny!

Somehow, Johnny was even more funny when he would bomb. I love that he was never afraid to laugh at himself.
Here's a perfect example, only 3 minutes long.

How lucky you were to work at NBC when he was there!
I don't know why I never thought to get tickets to go see him in person. For those of us who devotedly watched him, he really was a part of our lives. I have missed him ever since he left the show. Although I wouldn't exactly call what happened to him as leaving the show. It was more that he was shown the door. He sure didn't deserve that.

I'll bet you know this. After he left The Tonight Show, he would often write jokes and send them to David Letterman. And Letterman would use the jokes on HIS show. I don't think he told that story until after Johnny had passed away.
