It was exciting to be allowed to stay up late and watch the show. Watch Carson do his monologue, comic bits and of course interview a lot (if not all) of the famous celebrities of the time as well as the past. Besides enjoying the show there was a feeling that, hey, you're not a little kid anymore cause you're allowed to watch this "adult"* show.<br /><br />* - adult, of course, having nothing to do with porn.<br /><br />My cable started airing Antenna TV a few months ago so I was able to begin watching the reruns of Carson's Tonight Show every night. But do I? Not really. I may catch a bit of the monologue or when I see a stand up comic listed as a guest, knowing this may be their first or second appearance, I'll check it out. But I don't usually watch the shows.<br /><br />For me, I don't think it has anything to do with how I feel about Johnny, as a person. I think it's more of my disinterest with talk shows generally (these days I avoid them like the plague) and well, it's been over 40 years since I was a kid staying up late, watching Carson's Tonight Show and I really don't feel the "need" to do so anymore.
