Former "Tonight Show" host Johnny Carson donated $5.3 million to his alma mater, the University of Nebraska, to support its fine arts program and help with renovations.

How generous is that!

If I'd have known about the donation, I would have been more ready for his death. I'm guessing he was seeing the end coming.

He was so special. No one will touch what he did again. Even someone with as much talent, and I can't think of anyone who has as much, is in a much more fragmented entertainment situation. PC has also made it tougher to be funny without eventually ticking someone off and causing career hiccups.
