I wasn't too terribly surprised to hear that he had passed away. I expected it to happen at anytime as he was terribly ill for such a long time.What gets me is the vitual lack of coverage of his passing, almost as if he didn't matter. Carson & McMahon were the funniest things going for me when it turned 10:30p.m. I used to drive my mum nuts during the week as I'd sneak out of bed & turn the t.v. on just so I could watch The Tonight Show. As I see it, the man had a lot of class, even to the end. I seriously doubt that there is anyone else like him today.
