📰 Johnny Carson’s pal recounts emotional ‘last supper’ with TV icon: ‘He knew he was dying’
Howard Smith, a friend and neighbor of Johnny Carson, was concerned about Carson’s heavy smoking habits, urging him to quit for six months until Carson finally decided to stop smoking. Despite quitting smoking for the last 18 years of his life, Carson was diagnosed with emphysema in 2002, which eventually led to his death in 2005 at the age of 79. Smith, who wrote a memoir about his friendship with Carson, aimed to show the public the John Carson he knew, countering negative portrayals of the TV icon. Carson’s final days were marked by a memorable dinner with Smith and his wife, where Carson was unusually funny and expressive, possibly indicating his awareness of his impending death. Carson passed away 16 days after that dinner, leaving behind memories of his generosity and love for life.
Smith’s memoir sheds light on Carson’s post-retirement life, where he enjoyed hobbies like studying astronomy, learning new languages, and performing card tricks. Despite his public persona as a shy and reserved individual, Carson was known for his generosity, quietly supporting various charities without seeking publicity. Smith hopes to showcase a different side of Carson to the public, emphasizing their special bond that developed over the years through activities like playing tennis and engaging in deep conversations. Carson’s final moments with Smith and his wife reflected his desire to share laughter and express his love for them, leaving a lasting impression on those who knew him intimately.
