Johnny Carson: King of Late Night - 2012

Chronological go through the life and career of Johnny Carson (1925-2005), with comment in an ex-wife and significantly much more than 30 fellow comedians, friends, employees, and biographers. The biography defines why Carson was an enduring star (his cool, his timing, his genuine laugh, his breadth of knowledge) and pursues his motives and inner self (a loner having a drinking problem, a decent Mid-Westerner whose mum lacked acceptance, a silent one who loved to amuse ). The key to understanding him is his love of magic.
