In case you missed it: A Johnny Carson sex tape reportedly is being shopped. Who cares about watching a dead celebrity fuck? No one until they find out that Carson supposedly packed 10 inches. (Dave Chappelle still doesn't care, though.)

Why was an armed Johnny Carson weeping in a Los Angeles apartment? Because he found out football star and broadcaster Frank Gifford was fucking his wife.

Mel Blanc was nicknamed The Man of a Thousand Voices, he voiced majority of looney toon character like bugs bunnny and daffy duck. He passed away in 1989 and on his tombstone it reads, That's all folks!. Here is an old clip of him doing some characters on Johnny Carson.

Here's a bit of Late Night history: Johnny Carson did the first 10 years of the Tonight Show in the current Late Night studio. So, Kevin Spacey took over Fallon's seat and did his best impression of the late host.

Here is a clip from 1965 that features the beloved Bond villain Odd Job walking onto the Tonight Show set. He and Johnny Carson do not exchange words; rather, Odd Job segues from having a cough to wrecking the set.

Did it live up to the hype? No, but they did kill Tom Bergeron and got Fred Willard to play the Leno-type. They also worked in the greedy network executives and of course—the intern. More Inside.

No matter who you are, losing a pet can be one of the hardest emotional ordeals that you can undergo. This classic footage of Jimmy Stewart on the Tonight Show is a beautifully tearful look into grieving and remorse.

Last Friday, Conan O'Brien bid The Tonight Show adieu. Jay Leno will reclaim the "King of Late Night" title in March. But to understand the present, one must know the past: here's how we got to where we are now.

Conan's final Tonight Show was emotional, but there were no outbursts, no fires, no car wrecks. On a night where he could say anything, Conan attacked only cynicism and thanked NBC for what they gave before any promises had broken.

Like Bombs Over Baghdad, Brangelina Breakup insanity continuous through the morning. Andy Dick's non-story sobriety. Johnny Carson: miserable bastard. Michael C. Hall: cunning cancer strategies. Sundance suckage, Susan Boyle rocks, Axl Rose doesn't. Presenting your epic Sunday Morning Gossip Roundup.

If it wasn't clear before, it is now: David Letterman hates Jay Leno. Letterman repeatedly destroyed Leno on his show tonight, implying he's a thief and all-around bad guy. And while O'Brien made fun of NBC, Leno took personal digs.

As it's Martin Luther King Day, it seems appropriate to showcase King on The Tonight Show during the Carson years.

During an interview segment with Fred Willard on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon this evening, things got pretty awkward for a second when it appeared as though Fallon took a dig at his predecessor, Late Show host David Letterman.

December 17, 1969 50 million TV viewers tuned in to see singer Tiny Tim marry Miss Vicki on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

John Michael Higgins isn't a household name, but you've probably seen him acting in Christopher Guest films and/or as Wayne Jarvis on Arrested Development. He also portrayed Letterman in The Late Shift, something he says Letterman still hates him for.

Sad news about the death of Ed McMahon today, a TV icon who represented a disappearing breed—of ubiquitous, up-for-anything TV personality, of a colloquial ease with the camera that transcended any silly show he found himself on.

Tonight Conan O'Brien takes over the reins of the Tonight Show and he'll probably score huge ratings because it's his first show and everyone will be curious to see what the new show looks like. But who are you going to watch at 11:35 after all the hoopla dies down?

Gawker's old pal Jimmy Kimmel had what the Times' Dave Itzkoff termed as a "'Jerry Maguire'-like moment" while delivering an address to potential advertisers at ABC's upfront presentation on Tuesday, and it was simply awesome.

This is awesome: a brief history on monkeys in film, from Ink 19. After all, who could forget that classic 1994 Thora Birch vehicle, Monkey Trouble? We love how author Vincent Basilicato sets down the rules: "Concentration here will be on real monkeys rather than created ones." In other words, Mighty Joe Young and Dr. Zaius do not count. We also appreciate nerdy segues such as, "Chimpanzees pretty much ruled Hollywood for the next 40 years," and the fact that even though many of these animals are technically apes or whatever, it's more fun to call them monkeys. Did you know? Showbiz chimps can get fired, just like everybody else...

Until we saw this clip from Larry King Live last night, we honestly had no clue how hard Johnny Carson made things for our secretly favorite Dancing with the Stars contestant, Wayne Newton, who couldn't pull on a single, sequined polyester outfit and launch into song in a Las Vegas floorshow without having the late night despot crack some crass joke questioning his sexuality. (And later, he claims, finagling him a spot on a Mafia's Most Wanted hit list.)
