Nebraska

My younger brother lives in Omaha. I've never visited him there and have no plans to. He does come here fairly often for good golf and the beach.

He was supposedly a consistent prick off the camera.

His mother was a cold b****. She always put him down. When she died , Johnny DIDN'T attend her funeral.

I read a biography on him but I forgot most of it. He did have a drinking problem and didn't handle alcohol well.

He didn't have a drinking problem he hardly drank alcohol because he couldn't handle it.

At the end of the day, Carson had an alcohol problem, and eventually authorities set some ultimatums about it. In fact, in 1982 he drank and drive, and pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge. As a result, he was sentenced to three years probation, had to participate in an alcohol program for drivers, and could only drive to work and back — without any human or animal passengers.

Carson did actually admit to this major folly during an interview with 60 Minutes. “I don’t handle alcohol well at all, no. Really don’t,” he shared. “Oh, Ed [McMahon] and I have had some wonderful times in the past.”

Beyond attributing his mother Ruth to Carson’s nasty attitude, he was also a cruel drunk, and reacted extremely when others drank. NBC threw him a lavish 25th-anniversary party in October 1987. At the time, his son Rick was in attendance and he himself got drunk.

When Carson checked on him, the two ended up locked in a screaming fight, in the same place as network executives, media, and family and friends. Carson was actually declared the aggressor and made it into a shouting match, and appeared ready to punch Rick until someone stopped him.
