Carson-Era Comedy: Larry Miller



Ah... Those were the days. It used to be an illicit treat to stay up and watch The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, which I did faithfully throughout the last three years of high school.

Carson's commitment to providing exposure to the best stand-up talent in the country has made stars of men like Larry Miller, who's forged himself quite a tidy little career in the movies, often playing cranky or embittered men who wield their smidgen of power like a weapon of mass destruction.
