Johnny Carson, the “Tonight Show” TV host who served America a smooth nightcap of celebrity banter, droll comedy and heartland charm for 30 years, has died, NBC News has learned. He was 79 years old.

“Mr. Carson passed away peacefully early Sunday morning,” his nephew, Jeff Sotzing, told The Associated Press. “He was surrounded by his family, whose loss will be immeasurable. There will be no memorial service.”

My TV was probably playing him when my three kids were conceived.

In high school, I stayed up and watched Carson with my father every weeknight. That was our bonding hour.
