RIP Johnny Carson

Johnny Carson died this morning. What a tragic loss – he was one of the few comics whose comedic genius transcended multiple generations.

He and his comedy have been missed since 1992. Luckily, they both live on in videos.

But instead of configuring a custom-designed race car, the computer monitor displayed the dreaded “blue screen of death” and warned, ‘out of system memory.’”
