<p>Yes, that was Carson–the real Tonight Show, for you youngsters. I loved those old Steve Martin standup routines from my high school days. When I heard that they were going to do a remake of Pink Panther my first reaction was: why? Who tries to remake something that was perfect the first time…who does an updated version of “Casablanca”? But, I thought, if anyone could pull it off, it would be Steve Martin, who I think is the heir to Peter Sellers’ legacy. Apparently he didn’t pull it off (I haven’t seen it). Celebrity deaths don’t often affect me much, but I was very sad when Sellers died…there are few human qualities I value as much as humor. Glad you enjoyed the clip.</p>
