Johnny Carson passed away this morning at the age of 79.

I can’t tell you how much I used to look forward to The Tonight Show back when he was the host. As a matter of fact, I don’t think I’ve actually watched the show since May of 1992.

He was definitely a one of a kind and it was a sad day when he left television.

There is more information available at CNN.com, an article on E-Online and one more on msnbc.com.

Update:
CNN has Your Johnny Carson Memories, which is a pretty cool tribute. Some of the moments we all enjoyed are mentioned in this one.
