New York -- Here's one of countless punch lines at NBC's expense: On returning from vacation, our "Tonight" show host tells of being warmly greeted at the airport by the network boss – "just before he put my shackles back on."
Sound familiar? Well, this wisecrack was lobbed by Johnny Carson in a monologue that aired nearly 50 years ago.
Compare it to one of the multitude of jokes from current host Jay Leno mocking NBC as it reportedly tries not to shackle him but, rather, send him packing:
"T-Mobile announced they're doing away with contracts," he declared in a monologue this week. "Apparently they got the idea from NBC."
I hate to add to the tonnage of words speculating on Jimmy Fallon as the post-Leno host of a "Tonight" show relocating to New York. But I can't help recalling my early devotion to "Tonight" back when it, and Carson, called New York home – and how,...

Doc Severinsen is happy to help keep Johnny Carson's flame burning.
His own career benefits, too, since the often colorfully attired trumpeter and ex-bandleader of NBC's "The Tonight Show" continues to tour and also do engagements with various symphony orchestras. "It's a respect for the past, but a love for right now," Severinsen tells Zap2it of his current appearances that always include the unmistakable "Johnny's Theme," composed by Paul Anka.
"I'm glad to be in the moment, and I'm thankful to be alive and to still be able to play the horn ... and to want to go out and do it," adds Severinsen, who recently completed a tour with his current band. "And as long as that's how I feel about it, that's what I'll be doing. I have about three sets of alimony checks that go out every week, so I really mean it!"
