My interview with Johnny Carson's ex wife Joanne. She talks openly about Johnny and

Joanne Carson, the second wife of Johnny Carson and the host of her own syndicated talk show, died in 2015, at her home in Los Angeles. She was 83.

She had been in hospice care, Ed Rada, the executor of her estate, said.

Born Joanne Copeland in Los Angeles on Oct. 20, 1931, she married Carson in 1963, a year after he began hosting “The Tonight Show.”

She had appeared as the co-host of an early 1960s game show, “Video Village,” and later had her own syndicated health-and-fitness talk show, “Joanne Carson’s V.I.P.’s.” She went on to earn a master’s degree in psychology and a Ph.D. in nutritional biochemistry and physiology.

She truly cares and listens.

Wow! We can all take lessons from this beautiful gracious woman on how to deal with divorce and be a true and loyal friend. Pure class

I'm a huge Johnny Carson fan. He's a big reason I became a comedian. And this little piece of history about this lovely woman who shared his life for so long is a real gift. Thank you.

Such a lovely strong woman. After finding out her diagnosis of her long illness she went on to help others. A fabulous helpful thing to do. Thank you for this posting.

She was lovely. Her and Truman C's friendship was a blessing to both of them.

She was always loyal and supportive. What a great attitude. RIP Joanna Carson.

I'll never forget her generously helping Capote when he needed her.

I like how the interviewer is trying hard to get her to spill the tea and she DOESN'T. Good job!!

People used to be so much more polite and genuine years ago.

How nice to talk so nice about Jonny Carson. She derives alot of RESPECT. He gone she could have said anything

Great interview. Joanne seems very sincere and Ellen Prose (the interviewer) asks probing questions without overstepping boundaries or being out of line. It's impressive that Joanne didn't simply live off her alimony payments, but went on to create a career of her own.

she was really lovely in that beautiful 60s retro way - what a lovely lady.

[jeannetteduette]

She is naturally beautiful.
She still loves him, nothing but kind words from his Ex.

[ziggy]

Had no idea she was so close to Truman Capote. To have such a good friend and confidante for so long is a blessing....especially in L.A.

[TV-fuec]

Seems like a very lovely woman. Very impressed by her strength and class.
