Before Carson finally retired in 1992, there had been a number of times he could have left the Tonight Show. There was also always the prospect of him retiring beyond the OTL possibilities, or potentially dying or whatever the case may have been. There were certainly a number of guest hosts or other potential people who could have taken the reigns permanently. The purpose of this thread, which has been a long time coming from me, is to discuss who could succeed Carson throughout the ages to host the Tonight Show. Carson had a long run, from 1962 to 1992, so different hosts would be worlds apart from one another.
