Johnny Carson

Early life and career

Born in Corning, Iowa, Carson grew up in Norfolk, Nebraska. He left college after one year to participate in U.S. Navy, which commissioned an ensign. He joined the U.S. Navy, 8 June 1943 as an apprentice seaman enrolled in V-5 program, which trained Navy and Marine pilots.

He hoped to train as a pilot, but was sent instead to Columbia University for midshipman training. He performed magic for classmates on the page. Commissioned an ensign late in the war, Carson was assigned to the USS Pennsylvania, a battleship on station in the Pacific. He was on his way to the combat zone aboard a troopship when the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki brought the war to an end.

The Pennsylvania was torpedoed on 12 August 1945 and Carson reported for duty on 14 August last days of the war. Although he came late to the game, he got a firsthand education in the consequences of war. The damaged warship sailed to Guam for repairs, and as the newest and most junior officer, was Carson assigned to supervise the removal of 20 dead sailors. He later served as a communications officer in charge of decoding encrypted messages. He recalls that the highlight of his military career performing a magic trick for the Navy James Forrestal.

He began his career in 1950 at WOW radio and television in Omaha, Nebraska. He appeared on the radio with Ken Case, an Omaha native who later became a news anchor and sports caster in Monroe, Louisiana. Carson soon hosted a morning television program called The Squirrel's Nest. One of his routines involved interviewing pigeons on the roof of the local Courthouse that allegedly would report on political corruption, they had seen. Carson supplemented his income by acting as master of ceremonies at local church dinners attended by some of the same politicians and local leaders that he had lampooned the radio. The wife of one of the political Personalities owned shares in a radio station in Los Angeles and Carson pointed to his brother, who was influential in the emerging television market in Southern California. Carson went to work on CBS-owned Los Angeles television station KNXT. He would later joke that he owed his success to the birds at Omaha.

In 1953, comic Red Skelton a fan of Carson's sketch comedy show, Carson's Cellar, which appeared from 1951 to 1953 at KNXT asked Carson to join his show as a writer. Skelton once accidentally knocked himself unconscious one hour before his show aired live. Carson filled in for him.

Carson hosted several shows before The Tonight Show, including the game show Earn Your vacation (1954) and the variety show Johnny Carson Show (1955-1956). He was a regular panelist on the original to tell the truth until 1962, and hosted the game show Who Do you trust? (1957-1962), where he met his future sidekick Ed McMahon.

In 1960, Carson is considered to play TV writer "Rob Petrie" in a sitcom by Carl Reiner called the head of the family. Reiner starred in the pilot, but it was decided that a second was to play the role. But at the behest of producer Sheldon Leonard, Dick Van Dyke was given the part and series was renamed The Dick Van Dyke Show. He was also a guest star in two episodes of Get Smart!

The Tonight Show

This section may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. Can you consider moving more of the content in sub-articles and use this article for an overview of the main points of the topic. (January 2010)

Carson was host of NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in October 1962 after Jack Paar left the previous March. His announcer and sidekick Ed McMahon whole program. His first sentence, "Heeeere's Johnny" became a hallmark.

Most of the later shows began with music and announcement "Heeeeeere's Johnny! "Followed by a brief monologue by Carson. This was often followed by comedy sketches, interviews and music. Carson's trademark was a phantom golf swing end of his monologues addressed stage left where the Tonight Show Band was. Guest hosts sometimes parodied the gesture. Bob Newhart rolled an imaginary bowling ball toward the audience.

Paul Anka wrote the theme song ("Johnny's Theme"), a reworking of his "Toot Sweet", renamed given lyrics, "It really love, "and recorded by Annette Funicello in 1959. Anka gave Carson co-authorship and they split the royalties for three decades.

The show was originally produced New York City, with occasional stints in California. It was not living in the early years, even in the 1970s, NBC fed live tape from Burbank to New York via satellite to editing (see below). The program was done "live on tape" (uninterrupted unless a problem occurred) since Jack Paar day. In May 1972 show moved from New York to Burbank, California. Carson often joked about "beautiful downtown Burbank" and refers to "beautiful downtown Bakersfield," which got Mayor Mary K. Shell chide Carson and invite him to her city to see improvements made in early 1980s. [Edit]

After July 1971, Carson stopped doing shows five days a week. Instead of Monday evening there was a guest host, leaving Carson to make the four others each week. Shows were recorded in Burbank at 5:30 pm (20:30 Eastern time) to appear that evening at 11:30 Eastern Time. September 8, 1980, at Carson's request cut the show's 90-minute format to 60 minutes, Tom Snyder's Tomorrow added half hour to fill the vacant time. Joan Rivers was "permanent" guest host from September 1983 to 1986, when she was fired for accepting a competing show on Fox without hearing Carson. The Tonight Show returned to the guest hosts, including comic George Carlin. Jay Leno then became the exclusive guest host in the fall of the 1987th Leno said that although other guests hosts increased their fees, he held his little, make sure the show. Finally, Monday night was for Leno, Tuesday for the best by Carson, circulate usually a year earlier, but occasionally from the 1970s.

Carson had a talent for quick quips to solve problems. If the opening monologue fared poorly, the band would start playing "Tea for Two" and Carson danced, to laugh from the studio audience. Alternatively, Carson pull the boom mike close to his face and announce "Attention K-Mart shoppers!"

Carson's show was the launch of many artists, including comedians. Many got their break on the show, and it was an achievement to get Carson to laugh and be called to the guest chair. Carson was the successor to The Ed Sullivan Show as a showcase for all kinds of talent and to continue with a vaudeville-style variety show.

In 1973, Carson had a run-in with psychic Uri Geller. Carson, a magician, wanted a neutral demonstration of Geller's abilities, so on advice from his friend and fellow magician James Randi, he gave Geller spoons and asked him to bend them with his psychic powers. Geller proved unable, and his appearance on The Tonight Show has been regarded as Geller's fall from glory.

Carson successfully sued a manufacturer of portable toilets, which wanted to call his product "Here's Johnny".

On 13 December 1976 was comedian Don Rickles a guest when comedian Bob Newhart guest-host. While the fun of Newhart and improvise an "immigration" little stamp Rickles an imaginary passports, slamming the cigarette box Carson kept on his desk and break it. When Carson returned the next night and discovered this, he took a camera crew to the studio next door, where CPO Sharkey, a sitcom starring Rickles, were recorded. Carson stormed into the studio and shouted, "Rickles!" He cut off the tape, berating the embarrassed Rickles with a barrage of insults, in imitation of Rickles's action. Carson also teased CPO Sharkey's African-American actor Harrison Page by speaking to him in an exaggerated Southern dialect. The whole incident seemed to be spontaneous, but comedy writer Mark Evanier published an opinion. "Carson's show was recorded in Studio 1 at the NBC Burbank The Rickles sitcom was in Studio 3, where Leno Now tape … While Johnny did his best to make it all look spontaneous and unarranged, it should have been carefully planned. Rickles probably was not in on it, and may have been really surprised, but Johnny's producers and director must have been prepared for what happened, and the producers of CPO Sharkey almost certainly knew. Currently Johnny entered, just Don 'happened' to shoot on the set nearest the door. The surprise would not have worked as well if they had been on one of the other sets. It would not have worked at all if they had been between scenes or taping a portion of the show that Rickles was not i. "

An often repeated story since dismissed as an "urban legend" involved a guest appearance by Zsa Zsa Gabor to bear a white Persian cat. Gabor is said to have asked Johnny if he wanted to "pet my pussy?" During a 1989 appearance, remarked Jane Fonda that her son had repeated the claim and "my Sun said that you said, uh, 'I'd love to if you want to remove that damned cat! 'Is it true? "Carson dismissed the episode on-air said:" No, I think I would remind you that … "He and Gabor both responded to the researchers, indicating the event" never happened. "Despite widespread insistence by people claiming to have seen the episode, no audio or video ever produced.

But a little adult humor was not beyond Carson. During an interview with Dolly Parton, with regard to her large bust, she said, "People are always asking if they are real … I'll tell you what, they're mine." Carson replied, "I have certain guidelines for this show. But I would give it about a year's salary to peek under there. "Unlike the alleged Gabor exchange survives videotape by Parton interview and has been rebroadcast several times during the Tonight Show retrospectives.

In a 1980 Rolling Stone article, Carson caused quite a public backlash when he called Brian Wilson wrote (Beach Boys) song "Johnny Carson" from 1977's Love You album "not a work of art." Wilson wrote the song tribute regard to reality no such song had existed previously on the 'king of late night'.

Carson made several routine jokes at the expense of other celebrities, like Wayne Newton (after Newton had performed on Carson's show several times). Newton argued in his 1991 autobiography, among other times, including a 1989 interview with Phil Donahue, that the circumstances leading to a confrontation in Carson's dressing room, where Newton threatened a physical altercation if Carson has not ended the barrage of jokes with gay undertones. In a November 29, 2007 interview on Larry King Live, said Wayne Newton, "I'm going me to say something I have never said on television, Mr. King. Johnny Carson was a petty man. And there are people he has hurt that people will never know about. And one reason or another at a time he decided to turn that kind of negative attention toward me. And I refused to have it. "

Another famous feud came on the heels of a performances of iconic writer Truman Capote in 1966. Diminutive writer was already involved in a public feud with fellow novelist Jacqueline Susann, when he told Johnny and millions of viewers who Susann so "as a truck driver in drag." The comment was not censored from the broadcast, and made headlines the next day. Capote has subsequently issued a public apology to the truck drivers.

Carson reportedly detested what he felt was disloyalty among friends. The comic was unhappy when the former "Tonight Show "guest host John Davidson and Joan Rivers got their own talk shows. Rivers' FOX show directly competed with Carson during 1986-1987 season, but died a quick death. On 24 June 2009 after Ed McMahon's death, Rivers praised McMahon on "Larry King Live," but stated that Carson never "again spoke to me, up to his death. "Another guest host, Jay Leno, was treated cool to be seen as heralding Carson retired. Leno's agent ignited the then false rumors in Hollywood circles that Carson's retirement was pending, and Leno was heir to the "Tonight Show". Carson promised not to return for the show, while Leno headline it, and would actually make his last TV appearance about a year after his retirement competing Late Show with David Letterman.

Some of Carson's good-natured barbs were directed at his friends. Ronald Reagan's hair and Frank Sinatra's temperament and mob connections were frequent topics. Carson humorous chided Nancy Reagan for the fall and "break her hair."

Cartoon Characters

Carson as the character "Carnac the Great"

Carson played several continuing signs of sketches during the show, including

Art Fern the "Tea Time Movie" announcer (always selling strange or shoddy merchandise). The character was based on late-show television hosts, who would deliver advertising throughout the film. Carson originally played the fast talking huckster in his own voice (as Honest Bernie Schlock or Ralph Willie), and finally settled on a nasal, shrill, smarmy drone recalls Jackie Gleason's "Reginald Van Gleason III" character. The sign, which is now permanently known as Art Fern, wore a lavish toupee, high-jackets, and a pencil mustache. Actress Carol Wayne was famous for its 100-plus appearances (1971-1982) as Art's lush assistant, the Matinee Lady. While Art gave her spiel, she would enter the stage behind him. Art would react to her delicious body, wincing loudly, "Ho leeeee!". After Carol Wayne's death in 1985, with Carson Art Fern from the air for most of next year, and finally hired Danuta Wesley and Then Teresa Ganzel to play the Matinee Lady. Carson also used these sketches to make fun of the complex Los Angeles interstate system, using a pointer and maps to give confusing directions to customers (often including some where he would fold the cardboard map to point out via the appropriate picture when shoppers would arrive at "the fork in the way. "Another highway routine in the same theme centered around something uniquely named" Slauson Cutoff. "Art Fern would advise drivers to take some road until they reached the Slauson Cutoff, and then "Cut Off Your Slauson!" Often accompanied by the audience to resounding laughter, led by McMahon).

Carnac the magnificent, a turbaned psychic who could answer questions before seeing them. (The same routine was done by Carson's predecessor, Steve Allen, as "The question Mon) Carnac had a trademark application, he always turned the wrong direction when they enter the scene and then" jumped out "to step up to Carson's desk. (In one episode, rigged technicians Carson's desk to fall apart when Carnac fell into it.) These comical missteps was an indication of Carnac true predictive abilities. Ed McMahon would hand Carnac a series of envelopes containing the questions. Carnac will place each envelope against his forehead and predict the response, such as "Gatorade". Then he would read the question "What does an alligator get on welfare?" Some of the jokes were weak, and McMahon used the breaks after the dreadful puns and the audience groans that make light of the lack of comic success Carnac (Carnac be used to quiet "), prompting Carson to return an equal insult. McMahon would always announce near the end," I hold in my hand the last envelope, "where the audience would applaud wildly, prompting Carnac to pronounce a comedic" curse "on the audience, like" Do your sister off with a camel! "(Actually" Carnac the Magnificent, "was the stage name Johnny used in his magic act as a youth.)

Floyd R. Turbo American (with no pause between words). A stereotypical redneck wearing a plaid hunting coat and cap, which offered "editorial response" to the left leaning causes or news. Railing against women's rights at work, for example, Turbo shouting, "This raises the question: kiss my Dictaphone!"

Aunt Blabby, a cantankerous and sometimes amorous old lady inevitably be interviewed by straight man Ed McMahon on older issues. McMahon would innocently use a common expression as "check out" only to have Aunt Blabby warn him: "Do not say 'check' on an old person!" Aunt Blabby was an obvious copy of Jonathan Winters's most famous creation, Maude Frickert, including her spinster black dress and wig.

El Mouldo, a mentalist who will try to perform read thoughts and mind-over-matter of art, which all failed. Often his tricks will include an attempt to bilk money from Ed McMahon or would end with him begging for money.

Carson uncensored on satellite

Even though Carson's program was based in Burbank, was NBC's editorial and production services to the program lies New York, resulting in the requirement that Carson's program sent from Burbank to New York. The beginning of 1976, NBC used Satcom 2 satellite to do this, feeding live tape (which usually took place in early evening) directly to New York where it would be edited before normal broadcast. This live feed lasted usually 2-2-and-a-half hours on overnight and were uncensored and commercial-free. During commercial breaks sound and picture would be back on, prisoners sometimes risque language and other events that would certainly be edited out later to go beyond food.

At the same time, however, satellite ground stations, owned by private individuals began to appear, and some managed to find the live food. Satellite dish owners began to document their findings in technical journals, which give viewers information about things they were not supposed to see. Carson and his production staff were concerned about this and the pressure NBC into cease the satellite transmissions of live tapes in the early 1980s. The satellite link was replaced by microwave landline transmission until the show's editing facilities were finally moved to Burbank.

Business initiatives

Carson was a major investor in the end DeLorean Motor Company. Founder John DeLorean was involved in a drug scandal that causes Carson's guest Red Skelton two quip, "The DeLorean is that a hopped up car?"

Carson was the leader of a group of show business people and business people who purchased and operated two television stations Channel 5 KVVU-TV Henderson, Nevada, serving Las Vegas, now owned by Meredith Broadcasting, and channel 23 KNAT in Albuquerque, New Mexico. KVVU had been the earliest Las Vegas independent station and was a kind of local-joke for his threadbare operation and ragtag program lineup. Many thought it ironic that a leading entertainer as Carson, along with Sal Durante, Neil Simon and others, then even such a station. There was talk of the time that the station would be the NBC affiliate, then long-time affiliate CORK TV was in the process of being replaced by KVBC-TV, but it never happened. KNAT started at exactly the wrong time. More new channels 2, 9, 11, 14 and 23 was starting in the southwest and the competition for good syndicated show was tough. KNAT was later sold to Trinity Broadcasting.

Carson's other business ventures included a successful clothing line, through which his turtlenecks became a fashion trend, and a failed restaurant franchise.

Retirement

Carson retired from show business, 22 May 1992, when he stepped down as host of The Tonight Show. His farewell was a major media event, and stretched over several nights. It was often emotional for Carson, his colleagues and audience, especially farewell statement he made in his 4,531 st and final Tonight Show:

And so it has come to this: I, uh, one of the lucky people in the world, and I found something I always wanted to do and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I thank the gentlemen who've shared this stage with me for 30 years, Mr. Ed McMahon Mr. Doc Severinsen and you people watching, I can only tell you that it has been an honor and a privilege to come into your homes all these years and entertain you, and I hope when I find something I want to do and I think you'd like, and come back, you'll be so gracious to invite me into your home that you've been. I bid you a very heartfelt good night.

NBC gave the role of host to show at the then-current permanent guest host, Jay Leno. Leno and David Letterman were soon competing on separate networks.

After retiring appearances

At the end of his final Tonight Show appearance, Carson indicated that he may, if so inspired, come back with a new project but instead chose to go into full retirement, rarely gives interviews and refusing to participate in NBC's 75-year celebrations.

Carson appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman. During one week show from Los Angeles Letterman was Larry "Bud" Melman (Calvert DeForest) delivers its "Top Ten Lists" under the guise of a famous personality would be to provide the list instead. At the last show of the week, Letterman mentioned that Carson will be providing the list. Instead DeForest provided list, insulted the audience (in accordance with gag), and went out to polite applause. Letterman then said that the card he got was not the proper list on it and asked for the "Real" list will be brought out. At this cue, came the real Johnny Carson from behind the curtain (which Letterman's band played "Johnny's Theme"), a look that got a standing applause from the audience. Carson then asked to sit behind Letterman's desk, Letterman committed, as the audience continues to cheer and clap. After a few moments left from Carson Show with saying to the audience. He was later quoted as acute laryngitis as the reason for his silence. This night proved to be Carson last TV appearance.

Letterman would then use these jokes in the monologue of his show, which Carson got "a big kick out of" according to Worldwide Pants, Inc., Senior Vice-President Peter Lassally, as previously produced both men's programs; He also claimed that Carson had always believed Letterman, not Leno, to be his "rightful place".
