    Not unexpected, but sad to see all the same... One of the truly nice guys from an era of TV that can never be duplicated, but can hopefully be remembered. He was the penultimate "sidekick"... the yin to Johnny's yang. Their chemistry has been imitated, but it just doesn't work the same for anybody else...

      I think the catch line, " Heeeeeere's Johnny", will live just shy of forever.

        Yeah. I remember Jack Nicholson saying that.

        Bad decisions make good stories.

          30 years with Carson. Must have been a tough man! On that show I do believe Carson would have been lost without him

            35... if you count the 5 years they were together on "Who Do You Trust?" before their "Tonight" gig...
