How good was he? His legacy?
I recently found some Johnny Carson clips and standup on youtube and find him extremely funny, I wonder how was he at the height of his popularity?
He's like the Godfather of comedy. I haven't a watched all his stuff but his standup is so funny and he is so funny in Caddyshack
shareOne of the Greatest of his time.
shareOne of the best, better than any comedians today. But he had the advantage, in his time, of being free to say anything he wanted to say without repercussions.
shareOne of the absolute best. Pure joke smith. Setup, punchline. Setup, punchline. Zing zing zing. Set after set, constant new material. He was a mad man. And he was pretty good in movies too.
shareThe man was a comedy genius. He was great.
shareOne of the funniest comedians that ever lived. His sense of timing and his ability to adlib were legendary.
