ON THIS DAY IN AMERICAN HISTORY On October 1, 1962, Johnny Carson becomes host of the Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson , after replacing previous host Jack Paar. Carson would go on to host the talk show for almost 30 years, making major impacts in how television developed. For one, he moved the show from New York to Burbank, California, elevating the West Coast’s influence on popular culture. Carson also began taping the show for later broadcast, which is now the norm. The show was so popular that during a 1969 airing of a wedding between singer Tiny Tim and his girlfriend, Miss Vicki, 58 million Americans tuned in to watch. His average viewership would tower above today’s late-night talk shows. When Carson retired in 1992, comedian Jay Leno took over hosting duties.
