Thumbs Up To You, Johnny
Little did people know that I always had a huge crush on Johnny Carson.
In my eyes Carson is one of the very few comedians who could get away with laughing at his own jokes, but so often he held it in check just to give the camera that look. That look that said you know damn well that was funny. And raunchy. He did such good raunch. I've missed him for a decade now so it doesn't hurt as much. I hope someone gave him the same job-well-done, thumbs up that he gave the acts that left his stage. I know somewhere Bette Midler is singing "Surabaya Johnny".
