A very heartfelt goodnight

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.

One of my most enduring memories of television as a very young child is Johnny Carson's character Art Fern. I had to look this up, because I really just remember the end...

"Take the Ventura Freeway to another freeway until you get to the Slauson cutoff. Stop the car. Get out of your car. Cut off your Slauson. Get back in your car and travel until you come to ...the fork in the road."

I hadn't even heard this until today, but apparently he was still writing jokes and sending them to Letterman - and Letterman was using them.

I miss Johnny.
