Book Reviews of Here's Johnny!: My Memories of Johnny Carson, The Tonight Show, and 46 Years of Friendship
Book Review: Waste of paper
Summary: 2 Stars
For decades the author was the designated sycophant on the Tonight Show, laughing even when Johnny Carson wasn't funny, accepting every insult Carson handed out and agreeing to anything Carson said. Now Ed McMahon reprises the fawning role in book form.
On virtually every page he informs the reader that Carson was witty, smart, generous and other encomia. He repeats verbatim amusing incidents that are all on the ads for Tonight Show DVDs: e.g., the potato chip collector, the cute kids, Dolly Parton's notable physique, etc. There is very little that regular viewers of the program don't already know. We know nothing significant and new about Carson. Oh, he was a very private person--a secret already known by millions.
The book left me with a sour taste for McMahon, the huckster, the magazine salesman, the talent scout pretender. And I wasn't amused by the stale anecdotes regarding Johnny Carson.
