Wheeeeeeere's Johnny's blog?

Johnny Carson apparently thinks of five new jokes every time he reads the paper and is frustrated that he doesn't have a stage on which to perform them.

Blog, Johnny, blog!

Absolutely...it should be Carnak the Blogger. I would blogline this. Thanks for sharing...

no way--written humor and stand-up comedy are entirely different arts. even writing for one performer instead of another is entirely different.

he'd have to learn a whole new way of thinking about his material....

Since his jokes will only have been funny in the 1970s, he'll need a time machine to go with it.

I love that carson tag on Technorati. "Carsons of the world, unite!"

Johnny Carson could just film himself reading the newspaper and making quips, and post that online under CC license. Folks could remix the best parts into new shows.

I have a question...is there a connection between Johnny Carson and Montana?

Hi ... "Carnac the Blogger" is priceless. New, just posted bio of Carson to commemorate 15th anniversary of his last show -- http://www.grubstreet.ca/articles/jc/johnnycarson.htm

Long, but a good read.
