Richard Corliss of Time writes one of the best pieces I've read on Johnny, even if he does misspell "Slauson cut-off." He also notes that during much of the time Leno guest-hosted for Carson, he got higher ratings and better demographics. This is one of those facts that no one ever dared mention aloud when Johnny was alive.
Nick Clooney, who was the local news anchor whose broadcasts preceded Johnny in L.A. for years, writes about his encounters with Mr. Carson.
