johnny carson passes away jan 23 2005

one of the greatest entertainers in history passed away quietly today.
a staple of our viewing experiences while growing up, johnny carson was not only loved by all who tuned in on a nightly basis to his 'tonight show', but mr. carsons brand of gentlemanly banter and graciousness has yet to be replicated by any host since.
he shall be dearly missed.
