I have lots of fond memories of "The Tonight Show". Johnny was a funny guy, a great interviewer, and a genuine larger than life personality. This documentary really digs into Johnny "the man" and doesn't spend a lot of time with the history of "The Tonight Show". It turns out that Johnny was a very private guy and an extremely charitable person. I didn't laugh much at this. Johnny was very successful but clearly struggled in his private life. It's not a story that I really wanted to hear. There are many interviews in this with huge stars and the influence Johnny had on them and their careers.

Excellent doc on when late night was a unifying time for everyone in the country. His late night show came at a time when everyone would have "water cooler" moments from the previous night's television programming. This explores his origins, climb to success and dominance in a medium that was just starting when he was. He truly was the ruler of late night and hearing some of today's host's comments was an interesting side quest.
