His Other Ventures
In addition to his entertainment and business investments, Carson also dabbed in a few other business ventures. One of these includes the rather successful Johnny Carson Apparel, Inc. line of clothes, with the turtlenecks being especially popular. However, when he tried to branch out to opening a restaurant franchise, he was not as successful.
No Mingling With Guests
Carson was not exactly known for being a friendly guy, which meant he did not like to mingle with the guests on his show. He did not laugh at every one of his guests’ jokes, only ones he genuinely found amusing, and did not pretend to be enjoying himself when he wasn’t. He would even cut interviews short with guests he was not enjoying.
