I just checked The Drudge Report, Yahoo News, Fox News, CNN, and the BBC. None of them are reporting this?

NBC's got it. Fox News and the wire services have picked up on it, too.

This is indeed sad news. Johnny was the true King of Late Night TV. HIs timing and humor were priceless.I think Letterman said it best: Those who followed him are mere pretenders. RIP Johnny. Kevin

They said he made 31 million his last year in 1991! For 1991 that was a lot of money. He would be making 90 mill now! He was a heavy smoker, surprised he lasted this long! What he would have lived another 5-10 years if he never smoked? If I make 79 it will be a miracle.------------------
