Johnny Carson

Johnny Carson, the legendary television host of "The Tonight Show," was of mixed heritage, with roots that include Irish ancestry. His family background is often described as being of Scotch-Irish descent, which refers to the descendants of Scots who settled in Ireland before immigrating to America. This heritage contributed to his cultural identity, although he primarily identified with his American upbringing.

Alexis Carson ripped Johnny off due to a combination of personal motives and financial desperation. She may have felt justified in her actions, believing that Johnny owed her or that she needed to secure her own financial stability. Their relationship dynamics likely played a role, with trust being broken and leading to her decision to betray him. Ultimately, her actions reflect a complex interplay of emotions and circumstances that pushed her to act unethically.

Opposite Johnny Carson's "The Tonight Show" on CBS was "The Merv Griffin Show." This talk show featured interviews with various celebrities, musicians, and authors, offering a different style of entertainment compared to Carson's format. Throughout its run, Merv Griffin's show garnered a loyal following, though it often struggled in the ratings against Carson's popularity.

Johnny Carson had a team of writers throughout his tenure as host of "The Tonight Show," but one of the most notable was the legendary comedy writer and producer, Carnie Wilson. Other prominent writers included head writer and frequent contributor, Paul Block, and writers such as Bob Hope's writer, and later, Rosie O'Donnell's writer, who all helped craft the show's memorable monologues and sketches. Additionally, many well-known comedians, including Jay Leno and David Letterman, contributed to the writing staff during their early careers.

Yes, according to one of his biographers. During his first marriage, he took his young sons golfing and got them lessons. One of them even ended up becoming a golf pro.
