{"product_id":"johnny-carson","title":"Johnny Carson","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e“A close look at how show business power corrupts . . . The dishiest read of the year.” – Janet Maslin, “Ten Favorite Books of the Year,” \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Here’s Johnny!” Probably everyone in America knows the phrase, whether they watched every episode of \u003ci\u003eThe Tonight Show\u003c\/i\u003e or none because they had to go to bed early on school nights. From 1962 to 1992, Johnny Carson and his \u003ci\u003eTonight Show\u003c\/i\u003e dominated the American consciousness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Henry Bushkin was Carson’s best friend and lawyer during that period, and his book is a tautly rendered and remarkably nuanced portrait of Carson, revealing not only how he truly was, but why. Bushkin explains why Carson, a voracious (and very talented) womanizer, felt he always had to be married; why he couldn’t visit his son in the hospital and wouldn’t attend his mother’s funeral; and much more. \u003ci\u003eJohnny Carson\u003c\/i\u003e is by turns shocking, poignant, and uproarious — written with a novelist’s eye for detail, a screenwriter’s ear for dialogue, and a knack for comic timing that Carson himself would relish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “A fascinating book about a complex man.” — \u003ci\u003ePittsburgh Post-Gazette\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Like \u003ci\u003eThe Tonight Show\u003c\/i\u003e, the book has many a merry moment . . . [Johnny Carson] was also one of a kind, and is missed. This book brings a bit of him back.” — \u003ci\u003eSt. Louis Post-Dispatch\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eA \u003ci\u003ePeople\u003c\/i\u003e magazine Top Ten Book of the Year\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47122338218194,"sku":"9780544334489","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Kobo eBook","offer_id":47122338250962,"sku":"3da46312-9484-3101-8475-c262e9098b59","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indigo-pre-prod.myshopify.com\/products\/johnny-carson","provider":"Indigo Pre-Prod","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
