Here's Johnny! / Ed McMahon av Ed. McMahon

Technically not a beach read, but I got through it in about the time it would have taken to watch a couple Tonight Show episodes. It does carry Ed McMahon's voice, even if I didn't stop midway through for a cold Budweiser.

Here's Johnny! av Ed McMahon

Wow! How do you write a review about a comic team that were together for 30+ years? Unless you grew up with The Tonight Show when Carson / McMahon were hosting the show, there is just no way to say how much I miss - Here's Johnny!

Here's Johnny!: My Memories of Johnny Carson,… av Ed McMahon

Ed McMahon was a Marine Col. who flew combat missions in WWII & Korea. Carson was a Navy officer. Together they formed one of the strongest teams in television history. This book is rightly criticized for its stale jokes but McMahon was there with Carson the whole way into TV late night as it was perfected into the current art-form used by everyone. Bob Hope invented the monologue but Carson perfected it into the first stage before personal interviewing and stage comedy/music performance. An interesting book once you get past McMahan's need to be funny on almost every page. I'm happy a Marine wrote a book. We need more of that to go on. This book is almost too reverential to Carson but that is understandable. Carson began his retirement as an entertainment giant having gone from Nebraska to NYC and then finally to LA where he made fun of people from Burbank, CA for a living. Besides Billy Crystal and Bob Hope, probably the most easy to watch host of the Academy Awards. Too much guy humor, but if you're a Carson fan, this book is still worthwhile to read.… (mer)

Since Ed McMahon had spent so many years with Johnny Carson, I was expecting more out of this book than what I got as a reader.
