I think you are correct about the real Johnny Carson. From what I undrfstand, he had an austere upbringing which probably affected his adult life. He was hard to get along with and he wasn’t a particularly warm person. My father and his siblings were raised in a less than affectionate home. He and one of his brothers were clowns. His other brother was a cold fish. Who knows how much a person’s childhood shapes his or her adult life?
Very good reply. Thanks
