JOHNNY CARSON PA

â€œA close look at how show business power corrupts . . . The dishiest read of the year.â€ â€“ Janet Maslin, â€œTen Favorite Books of the Year,â€Â New York Times

â€œHereâ€™s Johnny!â€ Probably everyone in America knows the phrase, whether they watched every episode ofÂ The Tonight ShowÂ or none because they had to go to bed early on school nights. From 1962 to 1992, Johnny Carson and hisÂ Tonight ShowÂ dominated the American consciousness.

Henry Bushkin was Carsonâ€™s best friend and lawyer during that period, and his book is a tautly rendered and remarkably nuanced portrait of Carson, revealing not only how he truly was, but why. Bushkin explains why Carson, a voracious (and very talented) womanizer, felt he always had to be married; why he couldnâ€™t visit his son in the hospital and wouldnâ€™t attend his motherâ€™s funeral; and much more.Â Johnny CarsonÂ is by turns shocking, poignant, and uproarious â€” written with a novelistâ€™s eye for detail, a screenwriterâ€™s ear for dialogue, and a knack for comic timing that Carson himself would relish.

â€œA fascinating book about a complex man.â€ â€”Â Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

â€œLikeÂ The Tonight Show, the book has many a merry moment . . . [Johnny Carson] was also one of a kind, and is missed. This book brings a bit of him back.â€ â€”Â St. Louis Post-Dispatch
