Classic Television DVDs Bring Johny Carson Back To The Small Screen
Who could forget the smooth sound of Ed McMahon's voice announcing with practiced
timbre, 'Heeeeeeeeere's Johnny!' each night to millions of Americans as they sat up in their
living rooms ready to watch another round of Johnny Carson giving his low-key monologue
with the hard-to-resist deadpan delivery that we all came to know and love. Even today in
the new millennium, thanks to classic TV DVDs, we are still able to see the comedic genius
at work, albeit it doesn't have to be in the wee hours of the morning.
Johnny Carson's primary claim to fame was as America's late night king of comedy. For
thirty years he hosted NBC television's Tonight Show, and because of his up-to-the-minute
monologues, flippant characters and lighthearted sketches he entered more homes via the
television than any other performer had ever done before. His late night set provided the
launching pad for many budding stars and starlets, gave widespread publicity for hundreds
of books, movies and gadgets and never failed to offer a laugh (or two or three) to the
millions of viewers tuned in.
Carson was well known as getting his start in the world of magic at a very young age in his
hometown of Norfolk, Nebraska. Performing feats of prestidigitation was his first love, but
that was interrupted by World War II and a couple of years in the US Navy. After the war,
Carson decided to attend college and chose the field of radio as his major. This proved to
be a good choice for a young guy who had no idea of the impact that entertainment,
particularly television, was about to have on the world at large as well has his home soil.
After graduation he started a job as a radio deejay, but shortly thereafter the advent of TV
began to take the country by storm.
Starting out with television at its inception must have been an exciting time. Johnny Carson
got in on the true ground floor and never left until his retirement some 40 years later. What a
mark he left on the industry. His first stint on the visual air was hosting an afternoon
program broadcast out of Omaha, Nebraska, called The Squirrel's Nest. He pretty much
had the run of that show doing local interviews, practicing his vast array of characters by
performing skits and sketches and learning how to perfect his inimitable timing in the
delivery of jokes and stories. Today some of his earliest works can be seen on classic TV
DVD selections where a young Carson displays the same endearing grin he charmed
audiences with decades later.
Johnny Carson decided to try television in a big way when he made the decision to move to
Hollywood in the 1950s. During his fledgling years in Hollywood, Carson hosted a gamut of
television shows ranging from such titles as Carson's Cellar, two different versions of the
Johnny Carson Show, and two quiz shows called Earn Your Vacation and Who Do You
Trust? During this time he also worked as a writer for the Red Skelton Show. All of this was
merely practice for what many say is his greatest achievement - replacing the retiring Jack
Paar and hosting the Tonight Show.

2. It was in the Fall of 1962 that Carson took the seat behind the famous desk that was to be
his for the next 30 years. Even though he had a completely opposite style from Paar,
Carson did not need long to win over his audience. Before a half year had passed, the
Tonight Show ratings were exceeding Paar's by almost 500,000 viewers. It was an
unprecedented event when within a decade and a half on the air, the Tonight Show doubled
its audience numbers. Johnny Carson had left his mark on the world and became an icon of
classic television. Film critic, David Edelstein, put it so well when he wrote Carson was the
'naughty genius of late night'.
Johnny Carson was an entertainer who drew viewers in night after night with his droll
expressions, edgy comedic sketches and compelling, humorous interviews. His comedy
was as timeless as his slim, dapper, boyish good looks. Through the emergence of classic
television on DVD, Johnny Carson's comedy is being relived by his fans and seen for the
first time by a new generation.

Cleaning Your Desktop
Ah, the desktop. It's just as important to keep your desktop clean on your Windows PC as it
is to keep your real desktop clutter free, so that you may work at optimal performance. It will
help your computer speed up as well. Having to render all those icons on the desktop all the
time can really slow things down.
Did you know you can actually remove all the icons from your desktop? If you create a new
folder in the middle of the desktop then you move all your icons to the left or right side of the
desktop, then you can select everything and drag it all off of the desktop by dragging the
new folder to the left or right along with all the other items selected. This is the crude way to
remove everything, because technically it's still all on your desktop but it's just not visible.
Another way to get rid of most of the main icons is to put them all in one folder on the
desktop. Just name it 'Desktop Stuff'. Then you magically have a clean desktop and all the

3. stuff that's normally on your desktop is in one folder right there. It will speed up your
computer slightly, but you do have to double click one extra time, it seems like a good trade
off though.
If you simply must keep many of the things on your desktop, there are several tools to help
you organize all the essential items that you can't live without on the desktop. First, you can
access all the options by right clicking on the desktop. If you go to the View menu you can
choose between different sizes of icons. If you put them on Large that might help you
realize how cluttered or clean your desktop is. From the View menu you can also align your
icons to a grid, or have Windows 'auto arrange' your icons. If you like that make circles with
and stuff with your icons then you will probably want to stay away from aligning them to a
grid.
If you do have them set to auto arrange. You can then sort them by their name, size of the
files, or other options like that. Really, the best way to go is to just make one folder and
throw all of that junk that's been piling up on your desktop straight to the desktop master
folder. Just imagine your real desktop having one folder where you could have all your
family photos and memorabilia right there in one folder instead of all taking up space and
collecting dust!
Just by following these simple steps, you can improve the performance on your PC,
especially when loading demanding applications such as games or word processor for
example. If you have a large number of files you could create different directories such as
'pictures,' 'music' or 'video' for example. I even suggest a scrapbook folder for files you are
not sure about how to classify.
