Johnny Carson was one of the greatest to ever do it. He understood that late-night comedy was about bringing people together with humor—not dividing them with politics. "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" on NBC was truly amazing to watch because it focused on wit, charm, and universal appeal. Fast forward to today, and you have Stephen Colbert turning what used to be entertainment into a political echo chamber for the radical left. Now he's on the way out—and it's no surprise. Stephen Col

Old Cow Media on Instagram: "Johnny Carson on why he never talked about serious issues (ie, politics) on The Tonight Show which he hosted from October 1, 1962 to May 22, 1992, (replacing, Tonight, Starring Jack Paar) It’s an interesting subject because one could argue, not that it isn’t the place of a host or comedian to speak about current events but is their place of work, where people are tuning in to get away from all that and want to hear celebrity interviews or something funny, the appropr

When asked by Barbara Walters why he didn't take political stands or choose political sides, he said this: "If you start to take yourself too seriously and comment on social issues, your sense of humor suffers, and The Tonight Show is designed to amuse people.

Zappa and Johnny Carson discuss censorship on the Johnny Carson Show in 1986. FZ’s thoughts on his appearance via Rock & Roll Disc, December 1987: “I thought Johnny Carson was a nice guy to talk with, and he surprised me when I went on the show because when I was brought on I was told that we were only going to talk about Miami Vice.
