| I agree. Johnny was a stage magician in his younger days ("The Great
Carsoni") and after a while psychics would not go on his show because they
knew Carson knews the tricks of the trade, and could show them up for the
phonies they were.
The term Show Business legend get thrown around a lot and appliied to a lot
of people who don't derserve it, but the term certainly applies to Carson.

Indeed, and, thankfully, he got to see those accolades while he was alive.
