Reviews
"Terrific." --Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune "Shimmers with nuance and wonder." -- Booklist (starred review) "Perceptive and beautiful." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Splendid...nuanced....Carson's fans will appreciate the glimpse behind the curtain." -- Publishers Weekly "An immensely informative and insightful account of the personal and professional life of this heretofore inscrutable entertainment icon...Full of compelling vignettes." --Glenn C. Altschuler, Minnesota Star Tribune "Like so many biographers before him, Zehme at times felt as if he was at risk of being buried alive by the research, a journalistic hoarder haunted by the question: What if I'm missing something? His spirit can rest easy. Carson the Magnificent delivers the man in full while keeping the mystery of what made him tick alive." --James Wolcott, Washington Post "A memorial of the monoculture... Carson the Magnificent harks back to an era when doom and scroll were biblical nouns and Carson's Tonight Show was a clear punctuation mark to every 24-hour chunk of the workweek." --Alexandra Jacobs, New York Times Book Review "An entertaining look at not only a unique figure in 20th-century popular culture but also a bygone era in American television." -- Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis
The definitive biography of Johnny Carson, the entertainer who redefined late-night television and American culture, told through intimate insights and riveting accounts of his legendary career and complex personal life. In 2002, Bill Zehme landed one of the most coveted assignments for a magazine writer: an interview with Johnny Carson--the only one he'd granted since retiring from hosting The Tonight Show a decade earlier. Zehme was tapped for the Esquire feature story thanks to his years of legendary celebrity profiles, and the resulting piece portrayed Carson as more human being than American TV icon. Following Carson's passing in 2005, Zehme embarked on an exhaustive nearly decade-long research journey, interviewing dozens of Carson's colleagues and friends to craft this "immensely informative and insightful" ( The Minnesota Star Tribune ) biography, although his efforts were halted by a cancer diagnosis. When he died in 2023 his obituaries mentioned the Carson book, with New York Times comedy critic Jason Zinoman calling it "one of the great unfinished biographies." Yet the hundreds of pages Zehme managed to complete are astounding both for the caliber of their writing and how they illuminate one of the most legendary talk show hosts of all time: A man who brought so much joy and laughter to so many millions, but was himself exceedingly shy and private. Zehme traces Carson's rise from a magic-obsessed Nebraska boy to Navy ensign in World War II to a burgeoning radio and TV personality to, eventually, host of The Tonight Show --which he transformed, along with the entirety of American popular culture, over the next three decades. Without Carson, there would be no late-night television as we know it. On a much more intimate level, Zehme also captures the turmoil and anguish that accompanied the success: four marriages, troubles with alcohol, and the devastating loss of a child. In one passage, Zehme notes that when asked by an interview in the mid-'80s for the secret to his success, Carson replied simply, "Be yourself and tell the truth." Completed with the help from journalist and Zehme's former research assistant Mike Thomas, Carson the Magnificent offers just that: an honest assessment of who Johnny Carson really was., A much-anticipated biography--twenty years in the making--of the entertainer who redefined late-night television and reshaped American culture.
