He will be missed

yessir, you are correct sir. YES!

ayup...died of emphysema.....

quit smokin' folks

Was that directed at me??? emphysema can be caused by other things as well, not just smoking. Tragic news about Johnny, he had a great life and a great run. But when is the last time he was live on TV? His memory is all on tape now. Only 79 too, I think that is still young. My dad is up there in age and he is still going like crazy.

nope. but its good that you think so.

yeah...my gramps is 83 and he goes with me to six flags and will ride all the rides.

I just found out a few minutes ago I grew up with that guy.

My Grampa died of the same thing way back in the late 60's. Smoked Camels and also rolled his own. Must'a been a 3 - 4 pack a day guy....

Johnny will be missed

VERY GOOD SAID SCOTTY BOY
Emphysema is caused by many different illnesses and diseases,not just related to smoking....such as fluid in the lungs, fluid in the body and body cannot tolerate all of it..So dont go blaming smoking

Johnny Carson

I've been kicking myself for 12+ years now, for not recording the last few weeks that Johnny was on the air. I never dreamed that he would prevent re-runs from going into syndication (e.g., the 30-minute "Carson's Comedy Classics" that used to run late at night after midnight), and I figured at the very least Carson Productions would release a new tape every year for the holidays. I don't think Johnny ever fully understood how much his show meant to people, and what a void there was after he retired (which still exists; many people feel that Dave and Jay are coarse and juvenile, far from the easy hipness and sophistication that Johnny had).

With his passing, and I mean no disrespect, but I hope Carson Productions finally releases more of his material than the paltry 4-volume set which spans his 4-decade run as host of The Tonight Show (just fyi, that set is now out of print). I mean, enough time has passed, what could they possibly be waiting for now? If any of you have tapes of "Johnny Carson and The Tonight Show" please send me a PM.. thank you!

I'm still kicking myself for being a fool..

Jezz, lighten up Francis!

are your chances of Emphysema higher as a smoker or not? What about Cancer or heart attack?

I want you to quit, cuz, it will make you live longer. But, you gotta do it because YOU WANT TO!

My brothers, father and I would watch Jonny pretty much every night. His death is certainly a sad closure on a piece of my life.

RIP Jonny.

my dad had a similar story yesterday when we talked about Johnny passing away...

my Dad:
"I used to stay up until 1am every nite watching the Tonite Show, then get up at 6.30 to go to work.
Johnny provided so many Laughs & Memorable moments for me".


Funny thing about timing....
I think it was last Tuesday, Freddy Lasalle, the Tonite Show producer, came out and said that Johnny had been sending jokes to Letterman after reading the morning newspaper, and that he got a real kick out of seeing Dave use them during the monologue.
Two nites later on Thursday, Dave told a joke during the monologue that just Bombed....
Dave looked right into the camera and said,
"that wasn't one of Johnny's".


R.I.P. Johnny

I saw an interview with Jerry Lewis, they asked him what he had to say about Johnny Carson passing away, his response was "No Comment". What's up with that? was there some bad blood between them? or was Jerry too dispondant?
