Johnny Carson will never be replaced.
Johnny Carson was genuinely funny. He didn’t have to resort to vulgarity or mean-spiritedness.
What’s more, he seemed to enjoy what he did. I got the impression that he had as much fun as anybody.
The same with the Carol Burnette Show. Very funny, and they were constantly breaking each other up. They seemed to be a group of people who enjoyed their work and enjoyed working with each other.
I don’t find most “comedians” funny these days. I think there’s a lack of talent out there, or else what talent there is has been stifled by political correctness. IMHO, it takes a lot more talent to be Johnny Carson, Carol Burnette, Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, etc than to do what passes for comedy these days.
Most things that were funny 40 or more years ago, if you watch clips now, are still funny.
“Johnny Carson will never be replaced.”
That’s because America itself, from the years he was in that seat, will never be replaced.
