i think that really demonstrates the importance of johnny carson as a political and cultural figure of the 20th century. and this may be the most important aspect of carson's career, but one that is drawn very little attention from his biographers. in the 1960 19 in the 1960s when segregation still dominated many parts of this country the early carson quietly made the tonight show one of the most integrated places in america. his respectful treatment and promotion of a range of political and cultural voices normalize the changes that american society was about to make to end jim crow. carson smooth dover much of the conflict of the early 20th century or the late 20th century and operate by offering a refuge for the troubles of one's days. even as his comedy and conversation suddenly paved the way towards greater public understanding of difference and of the political and cultural changes that roiled the nation during the years when he held court at 11:30. operating an environment with little competition carson aimed for the great middle of the national audience. with monologues and gue

nobody did it better than johnny carson. but it wasn't just an american dynamic, even though we can look to will rogers and mark twain before carson. it's also a global reality. you can look back to the anxiety egyptians and the romans and they mocked the authorities of the day. it's a key way of perhaps lifting the burdens of daily life. like the jesters or fools of european courts, late night comics have some license to speak truth to power in a way that other political figures would find difficult to do. there is a space of play that allows for the exaggerations to create an environment where you can remind people that you are only kidding if the joke seemed to go too far. but if you look across the 30 years of johnny carson's career, rarely did he go too far for his audience. largely because he knew it so well. societies relish the opportunity to cut political leaders down to size. a joke, even a sharp one, can reduce the arrogance and perhaps the creeping authoritarianism that is at risk in modern, centralized, powerful
