Chronological look at the life and career of Johnny Carson (1925-2005), with commentary from an ex-wife and more than 30 fellow comedians, friends, employees, and biographers.

The key to understanding him, argues the biography, is his love of magic.

Meanwhile the fear of poachers and (in the movie) lions drives them north over the great river, a long and dangerous journey...

This 60-minute video is 100% Shandling, which is either good or bad news depending upon who's watching.
