Quote of the Day
When I think of Johnny Carson, I think of the opening line to his show when he was introduced...the "Here's Johnny". I just loved his show! Growing up, late at night when I was supposed to be sleeping, I would always hear my Mom and Dad laughing. Years later, I asked them what they were watching, and it was the Johnny Carson show. I thought he was so funny! I especially loved it when he had all the different unique animals come on his show. Late night has never been the same without him!
