30 Years Ago Today

I vividly recall watching Johnny Carson’s final show as a sophomore in college in Kansas City. It was a bittersweet moment, filled with a mix of happiness and sadness. Sitting in front of the TV, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of nostalgia. Carson’s farewell marked the end of an era, and as the king of late-night television bid his audience goodbye, I couldn’t help but reflect on the countless nights spent laughing along with him. It was a moment that captured the essence of both joy and melancholy, as we celebrated his remarkable career while realizing that we would no longer have the pleasure of his nightly presence. That night remains etched in my memory as a powerful and emotional tribute to a true legend of the small screen.
