Heeere’s Johnny — again on YouTube.
Google, which recently feted Lucille Ball’s 100th birthday, is saluting another classic TV legend today with the new Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson Channel on YouTube. As YouTube explained on its Official Blog on Monday, the site will be loaded with new videos each week. The channel will also take requests for clips to upload and you can submit a playlist to Google Moderator to share your “ultimate episode” of the show.
The channel, like another recent effort by Jerry Seinfeld, attempts to present a “greatest hits” of Carson’s career, though the project will no doubt be challenged by the fact that so much of Carson’s humor was topical. How many YouTubers will be up for Jimmy Carter jokes, for instance? On the other hand, testimonials from superfans like Howie Mandel may also convince younger viewers to give Carson a try.
