Join us for an intimate evening with Howard Smith, author of My Friend Johnny: The Last 20 Years of a Beautiful Life with Johnny Carson and Friends.
Howard shares personal stories about the man behind the legend: Johnny Carson as he truly was—kind, funny, generous, and complex. From tennis matches in Malibu to richly human moments with icons like Jay Leno (who penned the foreword), Princess Diana, Oprah, Wayne Gretzky, and more—this isn’t a celeb-packed memoir. It’s a rare look at genuine friendship and the values that connect us beyond fame .
What to expect:
• A candid conversation and reading
• A signing of new hardcover editions
• A few never-before-seen candid photos from the book
• Time to meet Howard and ask questions
Venue: Gozzer at the Tree Bar

This is your chance to meet the man who saw Johnny Carson in his most private moments—and to reflect on the power of real connection. No pretense, no gloss. Just honest stories from a thoughtful friendship that lasted two decades.
RSVP and let your friends know—this is going to be a meaningful evening.
