He could make you laugh just with a pause or a glance. His characters were hilarious, and when he had new comedians on at the nd of the night, he would literally launch their careers if he liked them and invited them over to the couch after their set.
This. Carson is the gold standard. The young'ns will never understand.
Letterman (his first show, NOT the CBS version) was brilliant. I liked Craig Frgsuon, too, but definetly an aquired taste. Hoping Colbert can return some class to late night.
