| Summary |
From 1962 until 1992, Johnny Carson hosted The Tonight Show and permeated the American consciousness. The country's highest-paid entertainer and its most enigmatic, he was as mercurial off-camera as he was charming and hilarious onstage. Now Carson's longtime lawyer and best friend, Henry Bushkin, shows us Johnny with a breathtaking clarity and depth that nobody else could, revealing not only how Johnny Carson truly was, but why. |
