Goodnight, Johnny

There have been many wonderful tributes written the last couple of days to Johnny Carson who passed away this weekend at age 79. He was by far one of the funniest and classiest comedians who ever lived.

Raymond Siller, who was a writer for The Tonight Show for 15 years, offers wonderful insights on working with Johnny Carson in this article on Opinionjournal.com.

Larry Miller offers some amusing reflections on his experiences on The Tonight Show in this article for The Weekly Standard. Johnny Carson will be remembered as giving many a comedian their big break which makes Miller's insights all the more special. (Hat tip: Free Republic)
