NBC announced they’re in development on a Johnny Carson miniseries based on the life and career of The Tonight Show host. However, the network hasn’t announced who will be tackling the role of Carson.
 
The series will be based on Bill Zehme’s upcoming biography Carson the Magnificent: An Intimate Portrait. Zehme, a journalist who had an amazing amount of access to Carson, will executive produce the NBC miniseries with John Davies.
 
Details on the Miniseries:
 
“The project will cover Carson’s legendary 30-year run (1962-92) as host of The Tonight Show, as well as his childhood growing up in Nebraska, his often secluded off-camera life and friendships he made throughout his career as one of the most beloved TV personalities of all time.”
