Johnny Carson, by Henry Bushkin
Bushkin was Carson’s lawyer, agent, friend, running buddy, and other things from 1971ish to 1988ish. Tells about Johhny’s wives, gf’s, tennis and business deals.

Easy read that gives a nice look at Carson and the rich and famous of the 70’s and 80’s.

Damn,I posted this on the OT, looking for other suggestions. I didn't even realize that there was a Book Board.

Oh well, there's my latest read and suggested material.

Did you find the book credible? I've read about one of the stories he told, about Johnny taking a gun to go break into his wife's apartment because he thought she was cheating on him w/ Frank Gifford. The ex-wife said it was all bullshite, and that Johnny would never carry a gun. Kathie Lee Gifford also said she asked Frank about it and that particular affair was not true.

He spills a lot of personal info about his client.

Google:

Generally, in a U.S. federal court, the applicable attorney-client communications remain privileged after the death of the client
Also, Bushkin's attempts to defend his very dubious actions over Carson's business affairs (among other things he was going behind Carson's back to make a deal w/the producer of Carson's Amen TV series), the reason Carson fired him, are both convoluted and self-serving.

Trivia Tidbit: per Bushkin, politically Carson was probably a moderate Republican.

But you wouldn't know that from watching his show, b/c he knocked all sides.
