Got a ticket. $50...not bad considering everything that happened. Johnny Carson has passed and the world is a little less brighter...
Some of his best lines
If life was fair, Elvis would be alive and all the impersonators would be dead.
Happiness is your dentist telling you it won't hurt and then having him catch his hand in the drill.
Anytime four New Yorkers get into a cab together without arguing, a bank robbery has just taken place.

If it weren't for Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of television, we'd still be eating frozen radio dinners.
New York is an exciting town where something is happening all the time, most unsolved.

Answer: “Ben Gay.” Question: “Why didn’t Ben Franklin have any children?”
Some quotes about him by others:
"It's a sad day for his family and his country. All of us who came after are pretenders. We will not see the likes of him again. He gave me a shot on his show and in doing so, he gave me a career. A night doesn't go by that I don't ask myself, 'What would Johnny have done?' He has been greatly missed since his retirement. Thank God for videotapes and DVDs. In this regard, he will always be around. He was the best, a star and a gentleman."
David Letterman
"Johnny Carson was a man I considered like a brother to me. Our 34 years of working together, plus the 12 years since then, created a friendship which was professional, family like and one of respect and great admiration."
