It’s been 7 years since Johnny Carson (October 23, 1925 – January 23, 2005), the king of late night, passed away to the big TV set in the sky. It’s best to remember the many times he made us laugh.

Even though I’m only 32, I loved the “Tonight Show” and “Dragnet” (obviously in reruns on Nick @ Nite!) I loved Johnny Carson’s skits (Carnac, Aunt Blabby, A Crabby Old Man to name a few) His last show w/ Bette Middler touched me though I was only 12. Clint Eastwood is an excellent director. He was an excellent actor, but I think retirement now was a good thing. These things were a bond, one of many, that my dad and I shared. Yes, autistic people do have a sense of humor and know how to have a good laugh.
