One such fan was then up-and-coming comedian Jay Leno, who would of course take over Carson's place as The Tonight Show host in 1992.
According to the new nonfiction book Love Johnny Carson, the longtime Tonight Show host went to see Leno's routine at the behest of Steve Martin, who recommended the young comedian for a stand-up performance on Carson's program.
As Leno told Malkoff, Carson went on to offer a crucial piece of advice to the struggling young comedian. "I actually got advice from Johnny himself," Leno remembered. "'Write your jokes out, go onstage and read them out loud flat. If it gets laughs, then you know you have a funny joke.'"
"He gave me the best advice I ever received," Leno writes. "He didn’t approve me for the show, and he told me why. 'Your performance is funnier than your jokes.'"
Leno ends his foreword by admitting he still revisits old clips of The Tonight Show, admiring Carson's comedic talent and the timeless quality of the show. "I miss him greatly, and this book is a testament to the Johnny Carson both Howard and I knew," Leno writes.
