THE TONIGHT SHOW

The Tonight Show is the worlds longest running late night talk show....
 ever.
It first aired in 1954 from the NBS studios in Rockefeller Center in New Your City....
making it the longest running regularly scheduled program in the U.S. of A.

From 1954-1957 Steve Allen was host....
Then came Jack Parr 1957-1962...

In 1962 Johnny Carson took the helm over and went an amazing 30 years until his retirement....
in 1992.
He was, in my opinion, the.....
"King Of Night Time Entertainment!"

I was one to go to bed early through the work week....
 but on the weekend I caught his show many-many times.
For those of you who have never caught the magic of Johnny in his prime, I am proud too offer up a dvd filled with.....Carson at his best!



After Johnny Carson retired Jay Leno filled some very hard shoes to fill.
 Jay was cool.... but Johnny was king!
He did a great job! He left in 2009, only to return as host again in 2010 until his retirement 
in 2014.

From June 1, 2009 through to January 22, 2010 The Tonight Show Host was Conan O'Brien. 
Over the course of the 7 month and three week span 145 episodes aired making it the shortest 
host run of  the well over 60 some years of history of...
  The Tonight Show.

Just as soon as Jay Leno left in 2014....Jimmy Fallon filled the slot.
He is the host to this very day.
Jimmy is great and I especially love his quirky sense of humor and he can easily get me to laugh right out load...but Johnny will always be my all time favorite!

Those of us that were old enough to stay up late just couldn't stop laughing when
Johnny had the animal trainers sitting in the hot seat.

No mater.... if you missed the shows because you just could not stay up that late, your parents
forbade it, or you just weren't even born yet; this one is for you!
Some of my children were conceived..... during  his opening monologue!
Time to catch up on the magic of..... The Tonight Show.

Do you remember?



Private Snafu is the title character of a series of black-and-white American instructional cartoon shorts, ironic and humorous in tone, that were produced between 1943 and 1945 during World War II.

Popeye The Sailor

"No matter what day..No matter what time.. There is always time for Popeye!"

The true account of the making of the film "Popeye" starring Robin Williams and directed by Robert Altman. The movie is nowhere near as bad as you may have heard and the book is fun if you are into "behind the scenes" stories. Over 200 photos.
