Johnny Carson: King of Late Night

Not Rated
Movie

1h 55m
English
Documentary
Chronological look at the life and career of Johnny Carson (1925-2005), with commentary from an ex-wife and more than 30 fellow comedians, friends, employees, and biographers. The biography defines why Carson was an enduring star (his cool, his timing, his genuine laugh, his breadth of knowledge) and pursues his motivations and inner self (a loner with a drinking problem, a decent Midwesterner whose mother withheld approval, a quiet person who loved to entertain). The key to understanding him, argues the biography, is his love of magic.

I have lots of fond memories of "The Tonight Show". Johnny was a funny guy, a great interviewer, and a genuine larger than life personality. This documentary really digs into Johnny "the man" and doesn't spend a lot of time with the history of "The Tonight Show". It turns out that Johnny was a very private guy and an extremely charitable person. I didn't laugh much at this. Johnny was very successful but clearly struggled in his private life. It's not a story that I really wanted to hear. There are many interviews in this with huge stars and the influence Johnny had on them and their careers.
