Where The King Of Late Night Spent His Childhood

We are currently in Norfolk (pronounced NOR-FORK), Nebraska getting our tarping system replaced.  There's not a lot going on in this small town in the Northeastern corner of Nebraska, but it is home to one of the most famous late-night hosts we've ever known.

Johnny Carson was born in Corning, Iowa, but his family moved to Norfolk when he was 8 years old and has always considered it his hometown.  The house in the photo above was his childhood home.  Driving by and taking its picture was the most exciting thing that we've done here so far.  

Next, we are going to see the mural and statue dedicated to Johnny in the downtown area of Norfolk. 

I grew up watching Johnny Carson with my grandparents.  Even at a young age, he had appeal.  His facial expressions, his laugh, and of course, Carnac The Magnificent.
