Late to the table, but...
Carson's days weren't THAT long ago.
I may be but a young little grasshopper, but I remember Carson and of course remember the Karnak bits. Ed Sullivan? OK, that's another story.
I've probably watched more Carson shows than Leno shows.
Remember, I'm the one who can't stand "my generation's music" and still listens to the good stuff from the 60's and 70's on vinyl at home. So what if I wasn't alive then?
And Jamo's right...the short term memory....well, I was going to say something about it, but I don't remember what.
