Man this suck's.

HIIYY-OOOOOOH NO!

Even though by the time I was old enough to stay up late, he was already off the air, I'll miss the ol' guy.

Awww... That's a shame...

He will always live on as a legend.

A true legend passes. Although, i wasn't old enough to watch him while he was on the air, I did see clips from the tonight show and he was truly a great comedian.

Yes, this is very sad. He was a great comedian... with true heart and love in his work. Rest in peace, Johnny.

This came out of nowhere when I first heard of it. I had no idea he would succomb to something like emphysema. It boggled me. This is truly a tragic event.

I wonder if there will be a tribute of some kind tonight on the late night talk shows. I hope both Leno and Letterman say a few words. I have a feeling Conan will.

Mom heard it first on Sunday while I was upstairs getting ready to go out. That is incredibly sad to hear, it's almost like it came from out of nowhere that he had this disease because he pretty much kept to himself. I didn't watch Monday's Jay Leno or David Letterman, but I'm sure they did a huge tribute for him.

I just remembered I have an episode of Johnny Carson on tape. With my sister and I POTO phans at the time, we taped a show with guests Sarah Brightman, Andrew Lloyd Webber and George Foreman. Before Sarah sang "The Music of the Night" to end hers and Andrew's segment, the two of them plus Johnny were goofing around at the piano. Andrew told Johnny to give him a song title and he could try and find notes to go along with it. Johnny smirked and went, "How about 'My Dog Died and Now You're the Only Bitch I Have'?" It's a great episode and I'm glad we still have it.
