Here are a couple of quotes from Johnny Carson. Such a showman and a great host.
Quote:“If You Wake Up And You’re Not In The Obituaries, That’s A Wonderful Start”
Johnny Carson was typically hesitant to participate in interviews, but in 1984, he sat with Barbara Walters at his California home to discuss his personal life as part of one of her ABC interview specials. This was the comedian’s answer when the legendary journalist asked him to describe his idea of “the perfect day".
Quote:“Did You Know Richard Nixon Is The Only President Whose Formal Portrait Was Painted By A Police Sketch Artist?”
Johnny Carson openly preferred to avoid having serious discussions regarding politics on The Tonight Show, but was not one to back down from giving the people in charge a hard time with his satirical stylings. This jab at President Richard Nixon in response to his involvement with the Watergate scandal is one of the host’s most blisteringly hilarious examples.
