HTML:<p>"A close look at how show business power corrupts . . . The dishiest read of the year." – Janet Maslin, "Ten Favorite Books of the Year," <i>New York Times</i><br /> "Here's Johnny!" Probably everyone in America knows the phrase, whether they watched every episode of <i>The Tonight Show</i> or none because they had to go to bed early on school nights. From 1961 to 1993, Johnny Carson and his <i>Tonight Show</i> dominated the American consciousness.<br /> Henry Bushkin was Carson's best friend and lawyer during that period, and his book is a tautly rendered and remarkably nuanced portrait of Carson, revealing not only how he truly was, but why. Bushkin explains why Carson, a voracious (and very talented) womanizer, felt he always had to be married; why he couldn't visit his son in the hospital and wouldn't attend his mother's funeral; and much more. <i>Johnny Carson</i> is by turns shocking, poignant, and uproarious — written with a novelist's eye for detail, a screenwriter's ear for dialogue, and a knack for comic timing that Carson himself would relish.<br /> "A fascinating book about a complex man." — <i>Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</i><br /> "Like <i>The Tonight Show</i>, the book has many a merry moment . . . [Johnny Carson] was also one of a kind, and is missed. This book brings a bit of him back." — <i>St. Louis Post-Dispatch</i><br /></p> <p>A <i>People</i> magazine Top Ten Book of the Year</p>.
