Sun Jan 23, 2005 8:12 pm
From Yahoo! News:
Johnny Carson, the "Tonight Show" TV host who served America a smooth nightcap of celebrity banter, droll comedy and heartland charm for 30 years, has died. He was 79. "Mr. Carson passed away peacefully early Sunday morning," his nephew, Jeff Sotzing, told The Associated Press. "He was surrounded by his family, whose loss will be immeasurable. There will be no memorial service."

That's sad. I've seen old clips of him and he was a funny man.

Wow, I was gonna post this...
Furcadia logfile:
Snake Wraith: [Johnny Carson died. o.O;]
Amira Ove snickers "Appearences can be deceiving Mister Wraith. Very deceiving."
You say, "[[I know --]]"
Snake Wraith: I'm a pretty good judge of women. She can't hack it...
John Dingo: [No offense, but who's he? that guy who was shot by that crazy guy that the police gunned down?]
Snake Wraith: [...]
You say, "[[Singer.]]"
John Dingo: [ahh. Ok. Thanks.]
Snake Wraith: [ ... ... you guy's are kittens. He did the Tonight Show before Letterman. He was a comedian.]
You say, "[[Think he sang once though.]]"
Snake Wraith: [Well so did I but that hardly makes me a singer.
]
Ashrin: [Too late to save yourself, Oak.]
John Dingo: [Ah. I didn't know]
Amira Ove's arms fold across her chest, ears twitching back "Oh really? Men hardly ever have the capability to understand a woman let alone judge one."
You say, "[[Yesh, it is e.e But I have a Johnny Carson song thing on my old comp, really!]"
Snake Wraith: [Johnny Cash, sweetheart.]
Snake Wraith: [That's Johnny Cash.]
You say, "[[X.x that WOULD explain it.]]"
Ashrin: [And he's dead too.]
Ashrin: [=(]
Snake Wraith: [HE I actually miss.]
Snake Wraith: [::gives a nice salute for the Man in Black::]
John Dingo: THAT I can agree with.
Oakleaf Evolution stands wordless, looking a little confused, though she silently agrees with Amira.
Snake Wraith: For the most part, I don't lump myself in with "men" ... it denotes some mortal idiot blinded by hormones and urges to be alpha male. I, however, exist with a sparkling clarity... especially when it comes to females.
Amira Ove stares for a moment before breaking out in a fit of giggles at the ridiculuousness of the statement, gasping for breath she topples onto her side and grabs her sides. This guy should be a comedian, yep yep.
You say, "[[And apparently the song I'm thinking of is Johnny Horton. Who's hopefully not dead.]]"
Snake Wraith: [Wow. Even further off.]
You say, "[[Indee o.o;;]]"
Ashrin: [The singing fisherman!]

That's a shame... I'm glad he died in peace.

My mom is pretty upset. She's actually talking on the phone with her boyfriend right now about how she and brother are very depressed. I don't remember my grandma, but I heard she was a big Carson fan and would watch him every night, laughing hysterically. My mom would try to sneak downstairs as a kid just to listen to her laugh. Sad, really. But I'm happy he's in peace, he seemed to be a really great guy.
