ROCKOLLECTIONS: JOHNNY CARSON LEAVES TONIGHT SHOW PT.3

Rockollections - Tonight 3
Alright, I took some time off for the Memorial Day Weekend.
In these final two chapters, you will hear more Johnny Carson.
In 1972 the Tonight Show moved from New York to Hollywood permanently- and that move was seriously questioned.
Since we played a show opening from New York, this time we will have one from Burbank- and right into some monologues. Just HOW hot was it?
There were times when Carson was never funnier than when a joke bombed.
He could be charming with celebrities as well as ordinary people.
Some examples, The Nut Lady and Pancho The Singing Bird.
Not sure how ordinary they are, now that I think about it!
Johnny Carson had over 22,000 guests on the Tonight Show, and at one time he accounted for 17% of NBC’s revenues.
Some routines never get old, as we shall hear with Johnny playing Ronald Reagan- think Abbott & Costello!
All of this intermingled with our music.
Including a song I’ll bet you never knew existed, actually TITLED Johnny Carson!
We will go out of this episode with an on-air call to Carson from Steve Allen, one of my heroes.
It is very funny, and listen for the mad bedlam that was a staple of Steve’s show, when Johnny catches on.
SMOCK, SMOCK!!!
Coming up next time, the Goodbye.
