One For My Baby

“So make it one for my baby

And one more for the road”

-Bette Midler to Johnny Carson in May of ‘92 at his last show

Johnny Carson. What a legend, what a golden example of true American entertainment. I remember watching the final show and seeing Bette hold those last few notes…I was too young to realize what was going on. But now when I think back, I cry…it was an ending of an era in late night tv.

Carson was a great man, a funny guy, a friend, and a helping hand to talented young comedians who were just starting out. Since he went off air I’ll catch re-runs here and there and I wish I could have been born earlier so I’d of been able to see him in all his glory.

I tip my hat to you Mr. Carson….good night.
