He Lost Faith
Carson died in 2005, leaving behind a huge legacy of TV history. Before he died, he had dinner with Jerry Seinfeld and Garry Shandling, and he revealed that he was not hopeful about the future of TV. Filmmaker Peter Jones shared: “Apparently [he] went on about his disappointment in the direction television was going, with its tabloid nature and reality garbage…He had said he was sickened by what was going on, and was glad he got out when he did.”

Richard Little released a tell-all memoir in 2016 in which he alleged that Carson had always hated him. He said that he believed that Carson couldn’t take what he dished out and that he hated Little’s impersonations of him. Henry Bushkin claimed that “Richard brought out the worst in Johnny.”
