Johnny Carson dead at 79.

The Latenight king has died today. I'm not sure what his cause of death is, as it's hot off the press.

We'll miss him.
1925-2005.

Edit: He died of emphysema.

Yep, just heard this on the radio. I never really got to see his work, and I wish I could have seen him, as I never liked the current late night hosts. R.I.P.

Just heard on the radio too. I remember watching some of his reruns. I'll miss him.

I'll miss him too...

Factoid: He was born on my birthday!

As some of you know, I'm quite a TV addict. Johnny Carson is part to blame for my addiction. Some of my more happier childhood memories were sneaking up at night and watching his show. Great times. I'll miss him very much.

RIP Johnny Carson

This is shocking. He will be missed.

Holy crap. Almost as bad as the time Marlon Brando passed on. That was back in mid-June, wasn't it? anyway, poor JC. We'll miss that crazy old bugger.

It's a shame he was before my time, by all accounts he was a great TV host and one of the great comedians of the 20th century.

More info for anyone interested. Looks like his smoking finally got to him (he died of emphysema).

And to think I just saw the man spin a car over his head on the Simpsons.

Anyone who can inspire a smile is a good person in my eyes. May you find your audience on the other side.
