{"product_id":"johnny-carson-9780544334489","title":"Johnny Carson","description":"\"A close look at how show business power corrupts . . . The dishiest read of the year.\" - Janet Maslin, \"Ten Favorite Books of the Year,\" \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Here's Johnny!\" Probably everyone in America knows the phrase, whether they watched every episode of \u003cem\u003eThe Tonight Show\u003c\/em\u003e or none because they had to go to bed early on school nights. From 1962 to 1992, Johnny Carson and his \u003cem\u003eTonight Show\u003c\/em\u003e dominated the American consciousness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Henry Bushkin was Carson's best friend and lawyer during that period, and his book is a tautly rendered and remarkably nuanced portrait of Carson, revealing not only how he truly was, but why. Bushkin explains why Carson, a voracious (and very talented) womanizer, felt he always had to be married; why he couldn't visit his son in the hospital and wouldn't attend his mother's funeral; and much more. \u003cem\u003eJohnny Carson\u003c\/em\u003e is by turns shocking, poignant, and uproarious -- written with a novelist's eye for detail, a screenwriter's ear for dialogue, and a knack for comic timing that Carson himself would relish. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A fascinating book about a complex man.\" -- \u003cem\u003ePittsburgh Post-Gazette\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Like \u003cem\u003eThe Tonight Show\u003c\/em\u003e, the book has many a merry moment . . .
