Two men in suits are seated, one smoking, in a talk show setting with a desk and coffee cups.

Late-night shows have been around for decades to bring people laughter in the evening hours. One of the most iconic late-night talk show hosts of all time is Johnny Carson. Towards the end of 1991, Carson got the chance to interview George Burns.

George Burns is an American comedian that you likely already know and love. He had one of the most successful careers in comedy history. His hilarious one-liners, dedicated fans, and undeniable natural talent were all keys to his success.
