The Future of TV
Carson passed away alone in 2005. Though he is the King of Late Night, he was concerned about the future of television. Peter Jones said, “Not long before he died, Johnny went to dinner with Garry Shandling and Jerry Seinfeld, and apparently went on about his disappointment in the direction television was going, with its tabloid nature and reality garbage. He had said he was sickened by what was going on, and was glad he got out when he did.”
