“He was a very private person, but then, you know, he belonged to the whole United States. The United States thought they owned Johnny Carson.” - Doc Severinsen

 

“For 30 years no matter what was going on in the world, no matter whether people had a good or bad day, they wanted to end the day by being "tucked in by Johnny."- David Letterman

 

"And so it has come to this. I am one of the lucky people in the world. I found something that I always wanted to do and I have enjoyed every single minute of it. I want to thank the gentlemen who've shared this stage with me for many years, Mr. Ed McMahon, Mr. Doc Severinsen. You people watching, I can only tell you that it has been an honor and a privilege to come into your homes all these years and entertain you. And I hope when I find something that I want to do and I think you will like and come back, that you will be as gracious in inviting me into your home as you have been. I bid you a very heartfelt goodnight."—Johnny Carson, May 22, 1992
