I'm so glad he got some help from Johnny. Imagine what he would have been like without it.

Well too bad Johnny Carson is dead, or I would have enjoyed putting him on my liberal list.

I don't think it helped much.

Now that Johnny Carson is dead and cannot refute his claims, Gore can BS all he wants in some stupid NY Slimes puff piece intended to repair Gore's reputation as a first class NUT!

Mr. Gore said...that he would be wheeled onto the dais on a hand truck, ramrod straight, and would slowly be cranked to his feet by "two guys in Acme delivery costumes."

Nix it, Mr. G. Too close to your normal entrance.

I've always been under the impression that the tonight show was Al's idea all along (right after he and tipsy provided the inspiration for 'Love Story').

I think that collecting "cool people" is a hobby for liberals. But from a political perspective I'm satisfied collecting "effective and capable" people for our team.

That said, I loved Johnny. I think most of what was left of any Hollywood class went with him.

Lessons from a master of timing, and what to show for it?

What a self-congratulatory, sophomoric suck-up. Everything about this guy reeks of poser.

Then you'll love this.
