I will never forget his 'speech' when he came back for the first time after 9/11. To quote Dave: 'God d*mn you.' It was a powerful moment.

I always like the "Stupid Pet Tricks" - I tried to find the one I remember best (a dog that went nuts and popped a bunch of balloons) but I couldn't find it ... so here is another one

Well, I am going to spoil the party here. I never liked the guy, he acted to pompous to me.

 

[the_last_gunslinger]

Never seen his show. I barely know who he is. Apparently, though, he is a big part of our culture and will be missed by millions.

 

[fushingfeef]

I started watching him back in high school in the 80's, he was a breath of fresh air and weirdness we needed badly back then!

 

[DiO'Bolic]

I stopped watching late night talk shows when Carson retired. Has it really been 23 years?

...he has a huge heart, but his persona did not allow that to shine through very often....

 

[kingricefan]

Thanks for this, my friend. You can hear the raw emotion in his voice as he speaks. He's not one to really show his emotions, but it's really there for all to hear. I don't think this is the full clip of his 'talk' though, as I speciafically remember him looking directly into the camera and talking about how 'dare these people do something like this in his backyard' or something to that effect and staring right into the camera lens and saying 'God d*man you. God d*mn you.' It was very powerful to see.
