Hummel, Hummel - Mord, Mord!

The Steve Dahl Radio Show is upbeat, interactive and 100% from the World of Dahl!

WLS-AM 890, Steve Dahl Show

Tom Jones is considered one of the first prose works describable as a novel. The novel is divided into 18 smaller books. Tom Jones is a foundling discovered on the property of a very kind, wealthy landowner, Squire Allworthy. Tom grows into a vigorous and lusty, yet honest and kind-hearted, youth. He develops affection for his neighbor’s daughter, Sophia Western. On one hand, their love reflects the romantic comedy genre popular in 18th-century Britain. However, Tom’s status as a bastard causes Sophia’s father and Allworthy to oppose their love; this criticism of class friction in society acted as a biting social commentary. The inclusion of prostitution and sexual promiscuity in the plot was also original for its time, and also acted as the foundation for criticism of the book’s “lowness.”

The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling by Henry Fielding

Johnny Carson was a pioneering figure in the world of American television, known as the “King of Late Night” for his 30-year reign as host of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. His influence reshaped the late-night talk show format, blending humor, charisma, and an uncanny ability to connect with audiences. Carson’s contributions to entertainment extended beyond comedy; he created a cultural institution that defined a genre and inspired generations of future hosts. His effortless delivery, clever wit, and memorable sketches left an indelible mark on television, making The Tonight Show a nightly ritual for millions of Americans. Carson’s legacy continues to influence the entertainment industry, with echoes of his style seen in the performances of late-night hosts who followed in his footsteps. Despite the comedy landscape evolving over the years, Johnny Carson’s impact remains unmatched. His mastery of timing, his ability to make guests feel at ease, and his memorable comedic characters made him a beloved figure in American pop culture. Early Life and Background Johnny Carson was born John William Carson on October 23, 1925, in Corning, Iowa, to parents Homer Lloyd Carson, a power company manager, and Ruth Hook Carson. His family moved to Norfolk, Nebraska, when he was eight years old, where he grew up alongside his older sister, Catherine, and younger brother, Richard. Carson’s childhood was filled with the wholesome simplicity of a small Midwestern town, but his fascination with entertainment emerged early. From a young age, Carson was drawn to the art of performance. At 12 years old, he discovered magic, a passion that would spark his love for being on stage. He saved money to purchase a mail-order magician's kit and soon began performing in front of family and friends, billing himself as “The Great Carsoni.” These early magic shows were his first taste of show business, giving him the confidence and experience that would later define his television persona. Carson attended Norfolk High School, where he continued to hone his skills as a performer. His natural comedic talent became evident, and he was known for his quick wit and ability to captivate an audience. After high school, he enrolled at the University of Nebraska, where he majored in radio and speech with a minor in physics. During college, he worked for a local radio station, developing his broadcasting skills and setting the stage for his future in media. Military Service In 1943, as World War II raged, Johnny Carson joined the U.S. Navy. He was commissioned as an ensign and assigned to the USS Pennsylvania, a battleship stationed in the Pacific. Though Carson never saw active combat, his military service left a lasting impression on him. He entertained fellow servicemen with his humor and magic tricks, keeping morale high. These performances provided a unique training ground for his eventual career in entertainment. After the war, Carson returned to Nebraska, completed his degree in 1949, and embarked on a broadcasting career that would lead to national fame. After graduating from the University of Nebraska in 1949, Johnny Carson quickly set his sights on the world of broadcasting. His first professional job was at WOW radio and television in Omaha, Nebraska, where he served as an announcer. During his time at WOW, Carson developed his skills in timing, improvisation, and audience engagement. His natural ease on air and knack for comedic bits began to draw attention. Carson’s first major opportunity in television came when he moved to California. He landed a gig at KNXT, a Los Angeles-based CBS affiliate, where he hosted a show called Carson’s Cellar (1951-1953). This program, a half-hour mix of comedy and interviews, showcased Carson’s burgeoning talent. Despite its limited production budget, Carson’s Cellar became a local hit and drew the admiration of notable entertainers, including comedian Red Skelton. Carson’s performance on the show would pave the way for his future in national television. In 1954, Carson joined The Red Skelton Show as a writer and occasional performer. An unexpected moment that accelerated his career occurred when he had to fill in as host for Skelton, who was injured during a rehearsal. Carson’s quick thinking and humor were so well-received that it boosted his visibility and reputation within the entertainment industry. Breakthrough with Who Do You Trust? Carson’s national breakthrough came in 1957 when he was hired to host the daytime game show Who Do You Trust? on ABC. Working alongside his sidekick Ed McMahon, Carson’s engaging and humorous style made the show immensely popular. The partnership with McMahon was significant; their dynamic rapport laid the foundation for their legendary chemistry on The Tonight Show. Who Do You Trust? allowed Carson to refine his interviewing skills and develop a strong connection with his audience. His playful banter, quick wit, and ability to ad-lib set him apart from other television hosts of the time. This period was a crucial stepping stone, not only because it established Carson as a rising star in television but also because it attracted the attention of NBC executives, who were searching for a new host for The Tonight Show. The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson In 1962, Carson accepted the offer to take over The Tonight Show from Jack Paar. This transition marked the beginning of a historic era in late-night television. On October 1, 1962, Johnny Carson debuted as the host of The Tonight Show from Studio 6B at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Initially, there were doubts about whether Carson could live up to his predecessors, but he quickly won over audiences with his engaging, conversational style and sharp humor. Innovations and Signature Format Johnny Carson redefined the late-night talk show format, turning The Tonight Show into a nightly entertainment staple. His opening monologues became legendary, often setting the tone for the evening with jokes about current events, politics, and celebrity culture. Carson’s monologue style combined a laid-back delivery with a sharp comedic edge, and his skillful handling of jokes that occasionally fell flat—acknowledging and poking fun at his own misfires—endeared him to audiences. Beyond the monologue, Carson introduced recurring comedic segments and characters that became iconic. One of the most beloved was “Carnac the Magnificent,” a mystical, turban-clad seer who humorously predicted answers to questions hidden in envelopes. Other memorable sketches included “Aunt Blabby,” an elderly, sharp-tongued character, and the infamous “Art Fern” from the “Tea Time Movie” sketches. These recurring bits highlighted Carson’s versatility and ability to engage in physical comedy and wordplay. Memorable Moments and Interviews Over his 30 years as host, Johnny Carson interviewed thousands of guests, from Hollywood stars and politicians to everyday people with extraordinary stories. His ability to make guests feel at ease allowed for genuine and often revealing conversations. Carson knew how to read the room, adapting his approach to each guest’s personality. His interviews with the likes of Robin Williams, Bette Midler, and Don Rickles became legendary, often blending humor with moments of unexpected sincerity. Carson was also known for his spontaneous and unscripted humor. Classic moments include animal expert Jim Fowler bringing wild animals onto the set, which often resulted in hilariously unpredictable interactions. Carson’s genuine reactions to these surprises became some of the most talked-about and cherished moments on the show. Comedy Style and Influence Johnny Carson’s comedy was a masterclass in timing, subtlety, and universal appeal. Unlike the brash or polarizing humor of some of his contemporaries, Carson’s comedic approach was refined, yet accessible, relying on his charm and wit to win over audiences. His humor often involved clever wordplay, double entendres, and a keen sense of the absurd. He had an innate ability to deliver punchlines with a look or a pause that was as effective as the joke itself. Carson’s comedic genius lay not just in what he said but in how he said it, often using facial expressions and body language to amplify the humor. Master of Timing One of Carson’s most admired skills was his impeccable sense of timing. In comedy, timing is crucial, and Carson had an extraordinary knack for knowing exactly when to deliver a joke or a witty retort. His experience in stand-up and early television gave him a deep understanding of the rhythm of humor, and he used this to great effect during his monologues and sketches. Even when jokes fell flat—a rarity—Carson would pivot effortlessly, turning the situation into a moment of self-deprecating humor that made the audience laugh even harder. This ability to make something funny out of a flop became a signature part of his comedic identity. Influence on Future Generations Carson’s influence on future generations of comedians and talk show hosts is immeasurable. He set the gold standard for late-night television, and many hosts have openly credited Carson as their inspiration. David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Fallon, and Stephen Colbert have all cited Carson as a major influence on their careers. His legacy is particularly evident in the late-night talk show format, which remains largely unchanged since Carson perfected it. David Letterman, who was particularly close to Carson, adopted many of Carson’s traits, including his dry humor and unpredictability. Jay Leno, who would later succeed Carson as host of The Tonight Show, also drew inspiration from Carson’s monologue style and audience interactions. Even younger hosts like Jimmy Fallon have carried on Carson’s tradition of playful sketches and musical segments, demonstrating how the legendary host's impact has transcended generations.
