You got 7 out of 10. Missed on the cigarette ad, guest host with most appearances and city in Nebraska.
6 of 10. I loved his show but never paid much attention to the details. Maybe METV could possibly start airing his syndicated shows like they air The Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday,(hint hint)
Another retro between does
Antenna TV. Why does it seem MeTV viewers are never aware of other networks?
Pluto TV has a dedicated Johnny Carson channel

Despite my score, I still think johnny Carson was the best talk show host. Along with his great comic timing, he had a way of making any guest, and also the audience, feel special and comfortable.

Yes, he did. You came to regard him like an old friend. He wasn't pushy, obnoxious, or competitive like Jay Leno was.

Me too. That was one of the questions I got wrong. I thought for sure it was Joan Rivers. I don't even remember Joey Bishop being on there, or even what he looks like.
