JOHNNY CARSON BY HENRY BUSHKIN (2013 Unabridged Audiobook) Henry Bushkin, Johnny Carson, Josh Bloomberg

“Here’s Johnny!” Probably everyone in America knows the phrase, whether they watched every episode of The Tonight Show or none because they had to go to bed early on school nights. From 1962 to 1992, Johnny Carson and his Tonight Show dominated the American consciousness.

As Carson’s personal lawyer, confidant, and right-hand man for nearly two decades, Henry  Bushkin had unique access to the comedian's world behind the curtain.

In Johnny, Bushkin offers an unprecedented look at the life of one of America’s most iconic entertainers. Known to millions as the “King of Late Night,” Carson was both a beloved television personality and an intensely private individual.

In this revealing memoir, Bushkin shares stories of Carson’s remarkable career, complex personal life, and the challenges of fame. From Carson’s professional triumphs and volatile relationships to his hidden insecurities, Johnny paints a vivid picture of a man who made millions laugh while battling private struggles.

Bushkin also explains why Carson, a voracious (and very talented) womanizer, felt he always had to be married; why he couldn’t visit his son in the hospital and wouldn’t attend his mother’s funeral; and much more.

With both humor and heart, Bushkin’s insider perspective brings Carson’s story to life in this audiobook, narrated by Josh Bloomberg, giving listeners a rare glimpse into the complicated life of an entertainment legend.

Johnny is an unforgettable journey through the glamour and grit of show business, told by a man who was there for it all.

Johnny is by turns shocking, poignant, and uproarious—written with a novelist’s eye for detail, a screenwriter’s ear for dialogue, and a knack for comic timing that Carson himself would relish.
