Ed McMahon screwed up the old tv show with his stupid ass incessant, Ohhh Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho,,,, it made my toenails crinkle up and curdle!!! cuhulin The current late night hosts can't even stand in Johnny's shadow. Were it not for Johnny, most of them wouldn't have been employed in the first place. Were it not for Johnny, most of them wouldn't be able to do their routines on the broadcast airwaves; he, Jack Parr, Carol Burnett and Steve Allen helped to define the on-air comedy variety show from the vaudevillian antics of Jack Benny and Milton Berle and hone it specifically for that medium. There were others who influenced todays humor, like The Paul Dixon Show influencing David Letterman as a youth, but those four were the big national shows. --Mike L. |
