"Heeeeere's Johnny!" That lead-in, followed by a big band trumpet blast, was the landmark of late night television for three decades. The "Johnny" was Johnny Carson, the announcer was Ed McMahon and the bandleader was Doc Severinsen. From 1962 to 1992, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson ruled the night air. And to this day, audiences across America love and respect Doc and his big band, not just because he shared their living room with them for so many years, but because of Docs love of the Big Band repertoire. His musicianship keeps this iconic American music fresh to this day. Their repertoire includes Ellington and Basie standards, pop, jazz, ballads, big band classics and, of course, The Tonight Show theme.
