In 2002, celebrated Esquire writer Bill Zehme landed one of journalism’s most coveted assignments: the first and only major interview that Johnny Carson granted after retiring from “The Tonight Show." The resulting piece portrayed Carson as more human being than showbiz legend, and after Carson’s death Zehme began work on this biography. Though illness prevented him from completing the project before his death in 2023, the pages he left behind illuminate one of the most inscrutable figures in entertainment history. Completed with help from Zehme’s former research assistant, journalist Mike Thomas, CARSON THE MAGNIFICENT offers an honest assessment of who Johnny Carson really was.
