Johnny Carson after just delivering another joke about Bakersfield.

Johnny Carson was a very funny man and the world is sad to see him go - except for a few people in Bakersfield that is. It is in large part thanks to Johnny's frequent jokes about our fair city that it has the reputation of being a hick town. Apparently Johnny got his start here back when it really was a hick town, so it's not surprising that he had that impression. That and the fact that the people here didn't really get his jokes. sigh. There are two articles in the paper today talking about Johnny's jokes and his time here.

So, it is in Johnny's memory that I include this link for y'all to enjoy. In honor of the town Johnny loved to hate.
