'An appreciation: Late night's king of cool
Carson's quick wit kept Americans watching for 3 decades

That's nothing against Joey Bishop, Dick Cavett, Alan Thicke, Joan Rivers, Pat Sajak, Jay Leno or David Letterman -- or Steve Allen and Jack Paar, for that matter. It's just that there will never be another Johnny, or another era in time like the 30 years he spent as host of "The Tonight Show" on NBC.

Consider: When Carson began as "Tonight Show" host in 1962, it was a three-network universe (and most cities were lucky if they had access to all three). When he stepped down in 1992, we were well on the way to the 500-plus channels we know today. There was no "Daily Show," "SportsCenter" or "Law & Order " reruns; Carson's competitors were late movies and test patterns.'
