Johnny Carson felt that he failed as a father after the son died in car accident

He continued, “When I went to this show that Jeff was about John, and it was a fantastic two -hour show that he did for about 100 people, and I said,” So Jeff, what happens to Chris? ” And he looks at me, says, “Howard, Chris died just last week.” ‘Real?’ I’m going, “Oh no.” “

Johnny was perhaps more focused on his show while he was alive, something that Thomas claimed to push him further away from his children, and said that the TV star did not have what there was “to be a father like he wanted to become a father or the way he thought he should be a father.”

Johnny, who was married four times, shared his sons Chris, Rick and the youngest Cory, with his first wife, Joan Morrill Wolcott. The two from 1963 broke up after almost 15 years.
