As will be obvious when you arrive at GZ, this is a somewhat offbeat tribute to the late entertainer, Johnny Carson, albeit with a Latin twist.
A fellow cacher, Foomanjoo, from the L.A. area, was passing through this neighborhood on the way to a caching event when he spotted this tailor-made location. I teamed up with him on my highest scoring power run to-date. When he showed me the spot, I adopted it, he planted the nano.
Have fun!
And in tribute, I offer the following:
From Wikipedia - "John William “Johnny” Carson (October 23, 1925 – January 23, 2005) was an American comedian and television presenter, best known for his iconic status as host of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson for thirty years.
"In 1953, well-known comic Red Skelton – a fan of Carson's sketch comedy show, Carson's Cellar, which ran from 1951 to 1953 on KNXT – tapped Carson to join his show as a writer. During one episode, Skelton knocked himself unconscious just one hour before his live show went on the air; Carson filled in for him.
"Carson hosted several TV shows before his run on The Tonight Show, including the game show Earn Your Vacation (1954), the variety show The Johnny Carson Show (1955–1956), a regular panelist gig on the first version of To Tell The Truth until 1962 and a five-year stint on the game show Who Do You Trust? (1957–1962), during which Carson met long-time sidekick Ed McMahon.
"In 1960, Carson was a candidate to play the role of TV writer "Rob Petrie," in a new sitcom created by Carl Reiner entitled, Head of the Family. Carl Reiner starred in the pilot, but it was decided someone else should play the part. At the suggestion of producer Sheldon Leonard, however, Dick Van Dyke was given the role and the series was subsequently retitled The Dick Van Dyke Show.
"Carson became the host of NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (taking over after Jack Paar quit) in October 1962. His announcer and sidekick was Ed McMahon throughout his entire tenure with the program. His opening line, "Heeeere's Johnny" became a hallmark of the show.
"....Carson retired from show business on May 22, 1992, when he stepped down as host of The Tonight Show. His farewell was a major media event, and stretched over several nights. It was often emotional for Carson, his colleagues, and the audiences, particularly the farewell statement he delivered on his final show:
"'And so it has come to this: I, uh... am one of the lucky people in the world; I found something I always wanted to do, and I have enjoyed every single minute of it. I want to thank the gentlemen who've shared this stage with me for thirty years, Mr. Ed McMahon... Mr. Doc Severinsen... and... you people watching, I can only tell you that it has been an honor and a privilege to come into your homes all these years and entertain you—and I hope when I find something that I want to do, and I think you would like, and come back, that you'll be as gracious in inviting me into your home as you have been. I bid you a very heartfelt good night.'
"On March 19, 1999, Carson suffered a severe heart attack at his home in Malibu, California. Carson was sleeping when he suddenly awoke with severe chest pains. He was rushed to a hospital in nearby Santa Monica where he underwent quadruple-bypass surgery.
"At 6:50 AM PST on January 23, 2005, Carson died at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, of respiratory arrest arising from emphysema. He was 79 years old. Carson had revealed his illness to the public in September 2002. Following Carson's death his body was cremated, and the ashes were given to his wife. In accordance with his family's wishes, no public memorial service was held. There were countless tributes paid to Carson upon his death, including a statement by President George W. Bush, all recognizing the deep and enduring affection held for him.
"Tributes published after his death confirmed that he had been a chain-smoker. While The Tonight Show was broadcast live, he would frequently smoke cigarettes on the air; it was reported that Carson had said "these things are killing me" as far back as the 1970s."
