I goggle searched Johnny Carson and he was born in Iowa! Not a Nebraskan Not born there it's true. But he did mostly grow up there, in Norfolk. The portion of US 81 that goes through the town is now "Johnny Carson" highway, avenue or something. I think he claims Nebraska as "home".

He claims Norfolk as his home town. In fact, he was my High School commencement speaker. Every thing in this town is Johnny Carson track, Carson Cancer center, Museum etc., etc....in fact he is sending our museum his Emmy's and his Kennedy Center medal not just to display but to keep! Even has a street named for him with big bill boards with his picture on them.
