Description
For two decades, Howard Smith shared an extraordinary friendship with Johnny Carson-not as the legendary Tonight Show host, but simply as John. A neighbor turned close companion, Howard entered Johns private world, far from the spotlight.
In My Friend Johnny, Howard paints an intimate portrait of the man behind the iconic desk-funny, kind, and generous, yet deeply complex. From tennis matches to quiet moments, their bond lasted until Johns passing.
Set against Malibus elite circles, Howards journey includes personal and revealing accounts with icons like Princess Diana, Bruce Springsteen, Wayne Gretzky, Mark Wahlberg, Oprah, Jerry Weintraub, David Foster, Usher, David Foster, Arnold Palmer, Clint Eastwood, Jimmy Hoffa, Tommy Lasorda (who changed Howards life forever), and seven US Presidents. More than a memoir, this book celebrates true friendship, serendipity, the magic of knowing someone beyond their fame, and the five traits that link the most successful.
Includes 20 pages of never-before-seen candid photos of celebrities, capturing unforgettable moments from Howards extraordinary life journey.
