Johnny was one of a kind, a superstar on TV. Miss him greatly. No way can I watch the fools on late night shows now. Just farm league in comparison.

Longtime Carson attorney, Henry Bushkin:
"“He could be the nastiest son of a bitch on earth. He was an incredibly complex man: one moment gracious, funny and generous; and curt, aloof and hard-hearted the next.” The latter qualities tended to come out when Carson was drunk, which was much of the time.
Carson was well aware that he was often a jerk, "I’m a shit. I have three kids with my first wife and I don’t see any of them. I can’t quit smoking and I get drunk every night and I chase all the pussy I can get.”
Carson blamed his mother, calling her a tough bitch, "There is no goddamn way to please that woman. She’s Lady Macbeth! My marriages failed because she fucked me up!” He refused to attend her funeral.
I just read an extensive online biography of Carson. Kind of schizo don't you think.
