Johnny Carson, 79, passed away today in California. He was a great entertainer who hosted the Tonight Show for 30 years from 1962 to 1992.
He also is a great example of a small town boy who went onto achieve great things in America. Johnny was born in Corning, Iowa and lived most of his boyhood in Norfolk, Nebraska. He started his show business career there at age 14 as the magician “The Great Carsoni.”
He never forgot where he was from, donating to numerous civic projects in Norfolk over the years.
