It's a damn shame that the media is making a bigger deal about his death than it truely is. Johnny Carson was a recluse. He was naturally shy, and few people know this, but he got extremely nervous infront of large crowds, but he still performed in front of them for 30 years. He wouldn't want this kind of press coverage. Yes, it's a shame that an American Cultural Icon died, but like I said, he wouldn't want CNN dedicating 23 hours out of their 24 hour programming to him. RIP Johnny Carson: Few of my generation knew who you were, and that's a damn shame. You're x100000 times better than Leno, Conan & Letterman put together. Without you there would be no Late Night TV, and for making Late Night TV, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You will be missed by millions.
