and as I grew older, I never missed him. IMHO, no one can hold a candle to him! I guess Letterman comes the closest (Letterman, BTW, is the one who Johnny really wanted to take over The Tonight Show and from my understanding, Johnny really didn't care for Leno). I like both Jimmy's (Fallon and & Kimmel). It'll be interesting to see how Fallon does....
