Summary

Henry Bushkin was only a few years into his legal career when Johnny Carson hired him as his personal lawyer/manager for a golden period that became the most productive 18 years of his career. His book Johnny Carson was a #1 New York Times Best Seller and one of the “Ten Best Books of the Year” in 2013.  Known as "Bombastic Bushkin," he was The Tonight Show host’s best friend and played a major role in his life that was very involved and complex, as he was equal parts sounding board, drinking buddy, tennis partner, travel companion, business manager, and all-around trusted confidant— with the power to clean up any mess that impeded Carson’s productivity or happiness. His inside information on one of America’s greatest treasures is both compelling and equally shocking, as he tells the intimate never-before-heard stories of the man, the myth, and the legend that was Johnny Carson.
