A snappy salute to a passing WW2 Navy vet.
Sometimes on the Tonight Show he would talk about his days at the Pensacola Naval Air Station which is just a short distance from me.
I'm sitting here thinking of all the now-famous folks who got their start on his show...George Carlin,Woody Allen, Gary Shandling, Jerry Seinfeld, Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby...I'm sure there are many more.
Rest in Peace, Johnny!
