Book
Carson the Magnificent
Twenty years in the making, Zemhe and Thomas's book examines "one of the most inscrutable figures in entertainment history: a man who brought so much joy and laughter to so many millions but was himself exceedingly shy and private. Zehme traces Carson's rise from a magic-obsessed Nebraska boy to a Navy ensign in World War II to a burgeoning radio and TV personality to, eventually, host of The Tonight Show--which he transformed, along with the entirety of American popular culture, over the next three decades-- Provided by publisher.
Prologue: Tiptoeing up the mountain
There will be a tomorrow
Kind of like television roulette
A tight suitcase
It's all in the timing
The difference between love and lust
A gesture from God
And so it has come to this
Epilogue: Like the widow at a funeral.
