 Johnny Carson - The naughty genius of late night. By David Edelstein
Carson also perfected the art of making a joke that bombs even funnier than a joke that works—a mixed legacy, insofar as many modern TV hosts (among them Letterman) are more comfortable than they should be going out with second-rate material.
Carson's background in magic (and its attendant skepticism) might be one of the keys to his greatness as a comedian and talk-show host.
The later Carson, the Carson of 1981 until his retirement in 1992*, was a subtly different presence.

Uniting the content is Carson's distinctively fragmented and layered compositional approach: One example, a photograph of a sun-bleached shack and a notice board that reads "Carson Design inc," is adorned with graphic sunbursts, leaving the reader to wonder how much of the image is real and how much constructed.

 Are Words Dead?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Carson, who came to the field in his late 20s after a career as a surfer (he ranked eighth in the world at his peak), spent years as a designer for obscure, economically marginal niche magazines for surfers, skateboarders, and the like.
For all its outsider status in the field of graphic design, Carson's work is not alien to the history of the visual arts in the 20th century.
Whether Carson's appearance on the scene will mean the end of print or its new beginning will depend, in part, on how the next generation of designers absorbs his teachings.

 The Other End of Print: David Carson, Graphic Design, and the Aesthetics of Media
Carson, as the most closely watched designer of the decade, has done as much as Template Gothic to consolidate the look of the nineties.
The body of graphic design work associated with Carson, Ray Gun, Emigre, Cranbrook and CalArts therefore bears close scrutiny by students of the new medias, for it dramatizes that aspect of the relationship between print and electronic textualities driven by the need of the former to assimilate and contain the ruptures of the latter.
It didn’t take much of this, Carson notes, before writers would become upset if the layout of their piece proved unexceptional: "They were concerned that a plain layout indicated that we somehow didn’t think their article was that great" (24).

 America as Glyph - DAVID CARSON   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Carson's designs flout the rigid structural code of the designer's "grid", self-consciously destroy the subtle (and at times, overly precious) language of typography, and violate the hallowed ground of the text space, putting images and words in unusual juxtapositions.
On almost every page he has designed, Carson introduces the visual topos of noise in its various forms, undercutting visual expectations and creating tremendous levels of "interest" (in design jargon).
Carson and Pynchon make the space between the lines of their respective forms available to fresh aesthetic strategies; they pull attention from symbol and word worship, and focus people on a visual and textual vocabulary, the invisibility of which confers a power and authority which is difficult to assail.

 Metropolis In Review: Graphic Language
In 2nd Sight, though, we are encountering David Carson after his influence has grown even more widespread, after years of lectures and major exhibitions, and after his commercial work (print and TV campaigns for Microsoft, Lucent, Xerox, MCI, Armani, Ray Ban, and others) has made his vision a public commodity.
When the smoke cleared and Carson's mirrors were carted away, one would find an amazingly obsequious paean to the Great Designer that undermines the level, unpretentious way that Carson presents, discusses, and produces his work.
Carson is still holding on to some of his original cool, but his job would be easier if there were more substance to the text that he wrestles with in his own books.
