...anywhere, seriously?
It's all a bunch of yes men.
Oh there are those that can be funny and clever, sure, but to
look at the piece of garbage who hosts the Tonight Show now...
get a clue.
It just goes to prove that comedy and entertainment
have sunk to trying to appeal to the
lowest common denominator.
No. They're all smarmy liberals now who wear their ideology on their sleeves. They have none of the charm or grace of Johnny Carson. Johnny himself was a Republican, but he never made a big deal out of it. The same cannot be said of these modern late night losers, who, like the rest of the media, use their shows as a platform for their agenda.
shareI always find it sad that the Republicans are so mean. They hate everyone and call people names. It is so childish.
shareCarson was the right guy at the right time, from 1960 up to about 1980. He really should have retired then, when he was at his peak. But Fred Silverman caved in when Carson asked for a boatload of money to stay on the air. It's hard to turn something like that down.
With that said, he seemed to epitomize the axiom that you can't be successful by being a nice guy. The entertainment industry, in particular, is truly a dog-eat-dog world. He was a bastard personally, but he had to be to stay on top for nearly thirty years, which is an amazing feat by any stretch of the imagination.
George Burns probably put it best when he said, "Show business is a hideous bitch goddess".

According to former lawyer and best friend Henry Bushkin, Carson was a lifelong Republican. Bushkin refers to him as an Eisenhower type Republican, ie a different mindset than the current Conservative Republican type. He was also asked to emcee Reagan's inauguration.
