Johnny Carson’s enduring legacy recapped in new book

Mark Malkoff joined The Final 5 with Jim Lokay to discuss his new book, "Love, Johnny Carson" and what made the late-night icon unmatched for three decades. Malkoff explained why Carson’s curiosity, humility, and focus on elevating guests defined the format and why today’s celebrity-driven landscape can’t replicate his style. He also shared insights from interviews with Carson’s closest friends, painting a fuller picture of a private but deeply engaged legend.
