Johnny Carson - Jimmy Stewart - Beau Poem

ok. HUGE crush on this man. he was old enough to be my grandfather, at least. who cares? a good man is hard to find. he was accomplished, humble and easy on the eye, as well. *sigh*

Jimmy Stewart, what a guy, never will he be replaced.
The world has lost one of the greatest and most genuine guys that it ever held, his star shines forever brightly in the sky. <3

Jimmy Stewart. What a guy.

I have seen this a few times before and its such a great clip. I'm only 29 so I can't say that knew who JT was before I saw this... My dog died today that I got when I was 19 I wasn't expecting to be so upset dogs are really something special.
If your thinking of getting a dog please
OPT to ADOPT!!

What was the context of this? Why did he read the poem on air? Did Carson know about it beforehand and wanted him to share it with the word?


Simple, yet powerful. I got very teary-eyed.

I presume Carson didn't know the content beforehand. Jimmy Stewart often showed up with a self-penned poem during these years and Carson would let him perform them on air, just like this one. I believe Carson was as "touched" as he appeared.

You said it.

for a fucking dog dude , for it 90% of the time it only wanted you for the fucking food , the rest for laughter , never with , but always AT you .

Rear Window is my favorite film of all time and Stewart had sooo many classics, it's not even possible to replicate his kind of career anymore.
