Feeling Guilty
After discovering the affair, Carson started to feel guilty. He reflected on how he had been acting and what kind of husband he had been. He told Bushkin: “I shoulda been home more. Not out running around….I have three kids with my first wife and I don’t see any of them.”

His “Worst” Guest
Throughout the years, Carson hosted many well-known figures on his late night show. There were bound to be guests he favored more than others. So who was his worst guest? Carson didn’t respect the fact that Bob Hope showed up with scripted jokes. Andrew Nicholls, Johnny’s co-head writer went on to say: “There was nothing spontaneous about Hope. He was a guy who relied on his writers for every topic. Johnny was very quick on his feet. Very well read. He was a guy who learned Swahili, learned Russian, learned astronomy. He appreciated people who he felt engaged with the real world. There was nothing to talk to Bob about.”
