Kind of. He is still dead, but local television is now broadcasting reruns of his nightly talk show. I have watched several of the programs, and am amazed at the quality of the guests. Over the past few nights, I have seen interviews with Truman Capote (sitting next to Johnny in the photograph above) and Carl Sagan. However, the opening monologues, which used to be my favorite part of the show, are pretty dated. Gerald Ford, President Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev jokes just don't cut it anymore. Go figure.
