The Rodin's Thinker of Comedy should ponder this as he faces the abyss: Will anyone remember him? Johnny Carson was one of the greatest monologuists, one of TV's brightest lights, but who recalls his punchlines? Heck Will Rogers, the first great mass-media joke teller, a leading movie star and newspaper columnist, a man seriously suggested for the White House in 1932, who even spoke at that year's Democratic convention in an Ah-NULT moment, doesn't jog most peoples' memories. Huck Finn will live. Not last night's Top-10 joke.
