Q: For many years, Johnny Carson was the star of a popular television show called The Tonight Show. For about 20 years, he was introduced nightly on the show with the phrase, "Here's Johnny!" A large segment of the television-watching public associated this phrase with Carson. Carson, who was a famous comedian, also performed in nightclubs and theatres around the country.
