When people ask him why he left television news
for a career
impersonating Johnny Carson, he explains that
his decision was
determined by what can only be described as his
uncanny resemblance to
the “King of Late Night,” both in sight and
sound.
He says “It was difficult getting my job done out
in the field because
people were constantly requesting a
monologue.” Then when his news
director at the CBS affiliate in Phoenix
suggested he might do his news
anchoring as “Johnny,” he figured it was time to
take the show on the road.
“Besides,” he adds, “studio cameras don't laugh
– or applaud.”
Since creating “Heeere's Johnny II” in 1984,
He's been very busy and
very successful. Working gigs from coast-to-
coast, he's entertained
audiences as small as 60 and as large as 10,000.
