    Carson was the best. This shows just how great he really was. Notice how he lays back and lets his guest go on with what he's saying and doesn't try to control or orchestrate him, what a pro.
    I always thought that Jack and Johnny looked quite a bit alike.
    Watching the "Carson Show" as everybody called it back then, was so comforting. After watching, especially when it was 1 1/2 hours long, I could simply drift off to sleep and dream of wonderful things.
    We miss you Johnny and Ed and Doc too.

      Jack's show had a different format from Johnny's. As Jack himself said, he could never do the type of show that Johnny did. However, for the type of show that Jack did, he was also very talented and was highly respected. Johnny hesitated in taking over the Tonght Show, fearing that he would not be able to fill Jack's shoes. The rest, as they say, is history.

    This is a terrific study in the differences between Jack Paar and Johnny Carson. The 2 men had strakingly similar backgrounds, but they were quite different. Note how Carson immediately points out that they were not close, and Paar had a nasty habit of making snide comments about Carson. But as was shown here, Paar was a rambling, neurotic mess, as opposed to a cool, calculating Carson. It's little wonder that Carson lasted 25 years longer than Paar.
