Charlie Barrett, NBC Publicist for Johnny Carson and "The Tonight Show" Continues Media Interviews as Media Memorialize and Remember The King of Late Night Television

LA-based publicist Charlie Barrett of The Barrett Company, who formerly served with NBC TV Network as Johnny Carson's publicist on "The Tonight Show" has completed more than 30 media interviews - with more coming - as media outlets continue to remember the powerful and lovable late TV personality, who reigned for 30 years

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 8, 2005 -- Charlie Barrett, who served as NBC's publicist for Johnny Carson and "The Tonight Show" during the 1980s and 90s, continues to be invited by media to be interviewed about his days working on the long-running TV show and with The King of Late Night.

As the publicist for Mr. Carson and his legendary "Tonight Show," which ran from 1962 to 1992 on NBC, Charlie Barrett publicized the appearances of Hollywood royalty from Fred Astaire, Jimmy Stewart and Jane Fonda to such fledgling comics in the 1980s as Ellen Degeneres, Rose Anne Barr, Jerry Seinfeld, Louie Anderson and Bill Maher, who were then practically "unknowns" in the entertainment industry.

"A guesting on 'The Tonight Show' was an endorsement for stardom from Johnny," said Charlie Barrett. "So many of the unknown comics that appeared on the show went on to fame. Mr. Carson always made his show a showplace for those new and upcoming comedians he felt had true, yet often undedeveloped talent."

"Johnny Carson literally defined late-night television and launched careers."

Charlie Barrett has been invited by and completed an interview with the TV show, "The Insider," as well as the TV special "Remembering Johnny Carson" for The TV Guide Channel, KABC Radio in Los Angeles, "Good Day" with hosts Doug Stephan and Heloise, "The Joe Mazza Show," Cable Radio Networks "The PM Show" with Mike Horn and Paul Stern and CRN's "World of Entertainment" with host Greg Hunter to name just a few.

Additonal interviews are being scheduled for Mr Barrett for the weeks of February 7th and 14th, including ones with NBC, the BBC and KDKA Radio in Pittsburgh.

Since leaving "The Tonight Show" as its publicist Mr. Barrett has headed the LA-based public relations firm The Barrett Company, which serves entertainment industry celebrities, films, TV productions and the publishing industry, which named Charlie Barrett "Publicist of the Year" in 2004.

Media interested in contacting Mr. Barrett can call the firm at 310-471-5764 in Los Angeles or visit the firm's web site www.thebarrettco.com for more information.
