From the archive
Carson is at the top of his game and the following morning (and sometimes beyond) talk from electronic media to the coffee is buzzing about last night's episode. I was only six years old but my ear was by my bedroom door to catch the monologue! To get some of the jokes, I needed to keep up on current events. Between that, my Father being literally a genius of history and politics (he earned his Bachelors and Masters degrees in U.S. History) that is how I got my passion for this! After the monologue (sometimes the show), I'd go DXing on the AM dial and/or my shortwave fall asleep listening to that! I loved the Winter, better reception and the heat of the radio under my covers would make me sleepy! I grew up on The Larry King radio show! The AM band died with his show! NO CALL SCREENING! Try mis-dis informing on his show! Carson too (or any of his guest hosts! I miss those days! And there are VERY fews of shows anywhere! Why? Anything would be fantastic! Remember, same shows have different edits from a few seconds to quite a big difference! Thank You!
