Johnny Carson, born in Iowa on this day in history, Oct. 23, 1925, went on to become the iconic and Emmy Award-winning host of "The Tonight Show." Here's his story.
After his high school graduation and notable service in the U.S. Navy during World War II, where he worked to decode encrypted enemy radio traffic on the USS Pennsylvania, Carson enrolled at the University of Nebraska, as Fox News Digital previously reported. "I found something that I always wanted to do and I have enjoyed every single minute of it." Erica Lamberg is a contributing writer for Fox News Digital.
While an undergraduate, Carson participated in student theatrical activities and worked for a radio station in Lincoln, as Britannica.com noted.
