Coinciding with Carson's twenty-fifth anniversary on "The Tonight show," this biography explores the popular and paradoxical performer--the shy loner who is at his best facing ten million viewers
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The second biography of the popular performer to appear this fall in the 25th anniversary year of Johnny Carson's hosting of The Tonight Show . Like Paul Corkery's Carson: the unauthorized biography ( LJ 9/15/87), this suffers from the absence of direct input from Carson himself. Like Corkery, Smith has interviewed many of Carson's associates and acquaintances and relied on information found in previously published sources. Also like Corkery, Smith does not provide any surprising revelations; yet overall Johnny Carson is the better book. It is simply better written and more interesting to read. Barbara E. Kemp, Washington State Univ. Lib., Pullman
