History

This holiday is on the birthday of an iconic figure in the history of TV shows – Johnny Carson. His career began in 1950 with his first appearance on The Tonight Show. For 30 years, he remained its host and was with the nation through good times and bad. Before retiring at age 66, his final series was marked with tears in his eyes, thus ending an era. He was a six-time Emmy Award winner and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1992 for his years of national service. He passed away in 2005 due to respiratory failure caused by emphysema. He has remained in the hearts of generations of viewers and had a lasting impact on the history of the United States.
