If you want the answer to the trivia question "Who was the final guest of "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson?" it would be Bette Midler. That next to last episode ends with Midler singing one last song to Johnny: "One More for My Baby (And One More for the Road)."

A lot of people don't understand why Bette Midler ran offstage right after her number. She said many years later she was on verge of sobbing and ran offstage to shed her tears. She did not want to upstage Carson by losing it in front of his audience. You can hear her voice cracking with emotion in the final seconds of the song. Beautiful.

She always credits him as the one that helped her become the star she is. Such a beautiful moment in TV history.

Well said. Johnny went out with the class and style that epitomized his 30 years on the Tonight Show. If there was ever a class act, he was it. Leno blew it by not paying tribute to the man who built a golden path to the 11:30pm time slot on NBC, I don't care if it was the doing of his megalomanical exec producer Kushnick, it meant that he always operated under the huge shadow of Carson and never quite got out from under it. I predict Leno will in his last show pay the long overdue homage due to Johhny.

I was born at the end of the Carson era. I never got to watch him. The way my parents and my grandparents talked about him and loved him. I couldn’t understand it. Then in 2016 when Jon Stewart retired from the Daily Show and his final show aired, and seeing how they sent Jon Stewart off and I was misty eyed and couldn’t believe it was over. My parents said to me “that’s how we felt when Carson went off the air.” And It made me realize so much that day.

It is incredible to realize that this tear - inducing, iconic moment of Bette Midler magnificently singing, "Make It One For My Baby" on the next to last Carson - hosted "Tonight Show" was 27 years ago ! Where has the time gone ?
