The Plain Truth – 1982 August

In Which World Are You?

I HAD just turned on television. Johnny Carson was chitchatting with a “show-biz” guest. Suddenly the thought flashed through my mind, Who else, pray tell, but a “show-biz” person could Johnny interview? Who else was of any importance or interest to the viewing public? Johnny, I realized, must have only IMPORTANT people – CELEBRITIES – on the show. Show business is his world, and he could not be expected to “descend to a lower level.”
