	The Comical: Johnny Carson Obituary
		His famous introduction by McMahon, followed by a monologue of short jokes, then his trademark golf swing to launch the rest of the show, helped make Johnny a fixture in many American homes for more than a generation.
		After the monologue, he would interview guests and perform in short skits, the most famous of which was "Carnac the Magnificent." Carnac was a psychic who revealed the punchline of a joke before opening a "hermetically sealed envelope" and reading the setup.
		Carson would also host many exotic animals and their keepers, making jokes about how the animals looked or behaved, and comically looking overly fearful when the animals surprised him.
