Letterman remembers Carson

Feb 01, 2005- Permalink

I thought David Letterman’s tribute to Johnny Carson last night was fantastic. You could tell he really loved Carson and the opening monologue — comprised of jokes that Johnny had sent him — was a very nice touch. I also enjoyed Leno’s tribute and the genuine joy he had listening to Don Rickles and Bob Newhart tell their Carson stories.

It’s a shame these two Carson devotees couldn’t have their tribute episodes available on one DVD to raise money for emphysema research.
