Johnny Carson's 'Tonight Show' Getting New Life Online

The estate of legendary late night talk show host Johnny Carson is hoping to bring the funnyman back into the spotlight, relaunching JohnnyCarson.com to bring it into the 21st century.

The Los Angeles Times Matea Gold has more on the relaunch.

Gold writes that Carson Entertainment, which is run by the host’s nephew, has digitized 3,300 hours of footage from the old “Tonight Show,” and will make clips available on a rotating basis on the site. It will also sell full episodes.

The content will also be searchable by keyword, name and date, providing a treasure trove of material for TV historians to pore over.
