Feeling Guilty
When Johnny found out about the affair, he then began to feel feelings of guilt. He told Bushkin: “I shoulda been home more. Not out running around….I have three kids with my first wife and I don’t see any of them.” He felt that he should have been a better husband and father.

His “Worst” Guest
Johnny absolutely could not stand Bob Hope due to the fact that he came on the show with scripted jokes. Carson’s co-head writer Andrew Nicholls shared: “There was nothing spontaneous about Hope. He was a guy who relied on his writers for every topic. Johnny was very quick on his feet. Very well read. He was a guy who learned Swahili, learned Russian, learned astronomy. He appreciated people who he felt engaged with the real world. There was nothing to talk to Bob about.”
