Remembering Johnny Carson

Remembering Johnny Carson

T.V. legend and Tonight Show host, Johnny Carson died at the age of 79 this past Sunday leaving America, the Haydenfilms Team, and the entertainment community in mourning. Carson made his debut as “Tonight”host in October 1962 and quickly won the hearts of families across the country. Carson was a heavy cigarette smoker for much of his life, onscreen, and off. A respiratory disease that is credited to smoking, called Emphysema regretfully captured the life of the “King of Late NightTelevision.”

Johnny Carson retired from late night television 13 years ago in May of 1992 after 30 years of mentoring comics such as Bill Cosby, and David Letterman. America had a hard time letting go, even then. While workingside by side with Ed McMahon, Carson is responsible for the fame andsuccess of a countless number of stars.

Haydenfilms President, Hayden Craddolph states..

“He Paved the way for the entertainment industry as a whole… he will be missed everyday, and certainly never forgotten.”
