I think that’s part of what makes The Tonight Show so special and unique, nobody else has The Tonight Show. To be able to use actual footage of Johnny Carson every night as the show these characters are creating and making every night, it really gives it authenticity … And for me, it was just an extra bonus of joy to go through these clips and pick them out. It was an embarrassment of riches. Most of them I have n’t even seen. A lot of them I remembered, but have n’t watched in 40 years. Not only do you see these guests again, but you can watch Johnny’s skill. Johnny Carson every night was just so good. Johnny Carson every night really set the standard.
