Hereeeeeee's Johnny! [View all]

Johnny Carson remains the standard against which all late-night hosts are measured. Some (like me) believe David Letterman is the better, greatest, and final old-school host, even as others can make counter-arguments ranging from pre-Carson (Steve Allen) to post-Carson (Conan O’Brien). But Johnny is the guy who teed up the template (monologue, desk chat, sketches, celebrity interviews) and sent it spinning like the imaginary golf ball he would mime hitting at the end of his monologues.
