The Final Stats
The amount of viewers that tuned in to watch the very last episode of The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson is truly staggering. Over 50 million viewers watched the last episode, which is much higher than even the amount of people who watched the Game of Thrones finale, which was at 19.3 million viewers.
His Favorite Watering Hole
Carson could frequently be found at a Manhattan bar called Jilly’s Saloon. The bar, which was located at West 52nd Street and Eighth Avenue, happened to be owned by a guy named Jilly Rizzo, who was a good friend of Frank Sinatra since the two were young boys.
