Just heard the news while having the pre-show on.

Haven't seen a website for it yet, but he was 79 years old and one of the funniest guys out there.

He was the host of the Tonight Show before Jay Leno, Trapster, and a comedy legend.

Trapster shocks me once again.

Just heard the news a minute ago, and I am still shocked. There will never be another one like Johnny.

I never seen his show...

You have probably seen some of his bits though (particularly "Carnac"). Many of them have passed into the popular culture. Letterman and Conan both employ his style of hosting; Leno does not.

I understand he did a lot for the Late Night Show

That is a large understatement. It is safe to say that without Carson's influence, the late night talk show as you know it would probably never have existed.

I remember watching the show when I was a kid because my mom used to love him. It's sad to see a legend like that die.
