Sis Boom Bah

The sound of a sheep exploding.

That was my favorite bit from Carnac the Magnificent. I did a quick search and found several other people posted it as their favorite too. At least one claimed it got the longest sustained laugh of any of the Carnac bits….

I was saddened yesterday by the news of the death of Johnny Carson. I may be biased by the era in which I grew up, but no other talk show host comes close in my book. I’m too young to have seen the original airing of Steve Allen or Jack Paar as host, but I have seen clips of both of them. While they deserve credit for pioneering the format, Carson really perfected it.
