Carson’s solution to the growing economic difficulties was simple: an extension of the British constitution to the island and the creation of colonial equivalents to king, lords, and commons.
But Carson persisted in his view that the constitution was “founded on a broad and liberal basis” and required only that members “put their shoulders to the wheel.” Parsons was also now advocating native rights, a growing movement in which Carson, for obvious reasons, could not take a deep interest.

Carson was often called "the king of late night," and he wielded an almost regal power.
Carson impaled the foibles of seven presidents and their aides as well as the doings of assorted nabobs and stuffed shirts from the private sector: corporate footpads and secret polluters, tax evaders, preening lawyers, idiosyncratic doctors, oily accountants, defendants who got off too easily and celebrities who talked too much.
Carson frequently saw their careers damaged - most memorably the comedian Joan Rivers, who went from being his most regular guest host to a pariah for daring to mount a late-night show to challenge his without first informing him.

James W. Carson was born in Ohio in October, 1925 and graduated from Miami of Ohio in 1949.
As his chairman related on his retirement, "the first non-western civilization class at Dickinson was taught in 1935 (but) twenty five years later, colleagues like Donald Flaherty and Jim Carson, along with just a few others, still struggled to nurture this worthy and vital tradition.
Today, we know, of course, that they succeeded and that a new generation stands gratefully on these broad shoulders." To commemorate his work, the Department of History instituted in 1992 the James W. Carson Prize for Non-Western and Comparative History, funded from very generous contributions from his friends, his colleagues, and generations of his students.

Videos culled from his Tonight Show years are still hawked on TV, and for years after his retirement he would give his friend David Letterman material to use on-air, which Letterman would punctuate with a golf swing.
