As long as Johnny says it’s okay, I will read it!

McMahon to write memoir about Johnny Carson
NEW YORK (AP) – Ed McMahon, the longtime sidekick of Tonight Show host Johnny Carson, is writing a memoir, titled, of course, “Here’s Johnny!”
“The stories he shares, with Johnny’s blessing given before his death, paint a picture of the enigmatic Carson, so cool before the camera, yet genuinely shy and self-effacing,” according to a statement issued Wednesday by McMahon’s publisher, Rutledge Hill Press.
“McMahon recognized Carson’s gift early in their partnership and felt blessed to ‘hitch his wagon’ to this rising star. These never-before-told stories reveal Carson’s talent and comedic timing as well as his nervousness, admitting ‘making it look easy is a hell of a strain.”‘
McMahon’s book is scheduled to come out in October.
Carson died in January at age 79.
