T.V. Talk Show Host Day on October 23 is celebrated as a tribute to the king of late-night television, Johnny Carson. America’s love for talk shows goes back to the 1950s. Generations come and go, hosts change, but the conversation keeps flowing. A charming host, interviewing an array of A-list celebrities, and a home delivery of some scalding-hot gossip is a package made in heaven — and today is the day we celebrate it all.
