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. 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. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Brilliant in front of the camera but shy in person, Johnny Carson seldom gave interviews. But no one knew him better than Ed McMahon, Carson's personal friend and showbiz sidekick for almost forty years. Now, with Johnny's blessings before he died, McMahon can finally share all the stories that only he knows. From the sofa at Johnny's right, to backstage, to their personal relationship, McMahon provides a real picture of the man who so carefully censored his public image, revealing the caring person within the dynamic star.
