Johnny Carson's eldest son Christopher dead at 74


Johnny Carson's eldest son, Chris Carson, has died at 74.

The King of Late Night TV's close friend, Howard Smith, confirmed that Chris died earlier this year, during his appearance on Joe Sibilia's'Nostalgia Tonight' podcast on Monday. During the trial, it was revealed that Chris worked as a golf instructor, but his main financial backing was from his father, who supplied him with cars, a house, and $35,000 each year. Chris' brother Rick died at the age of 39 in a car accident on June 21, 1991; Johnny pictured with his three sons in their back yard at home in Encino, California, in the 1950s
