Terry Wogan was a colossus of British broadcasting, a genial Irishman whose an easy manner and understated wit established him as the BBC’s most important star on both television and radio across four decades. During those years he hosted his own daily breakfast radio show, an eponymous television talk show, game shows, the annual Children in Need telethon and he was the guide for British viewers of The Eurovision Song Contest. A consummate broadcaster, Sir Terry was adored by his countless millions of fans for his dry sense of humour and keen eye for the absurd.

Johnny Carson was America’s king of television, the host and star of NBC’s Tonight Show for thirty extraordinary years. Decades after his death Carson remains a revered figure in American entertainment, a performer whose impact was so significant it is almost impossible to quantify. No one has come close to rivalling Carson’s phenomenal television stardom - his apparently effortless style, relaxed demeanour and razor-sharp timing were the hallmarks of a peerless professional who understood the medium better than anyone before or since.

John Marley and Mark Wells share their memories of working with Terry Wogan and offer an appreciation of his talent, along with that of the incomparable Johnny Carson.
