TODAY IN HISTORY

40 years ago- In 1980, the original "Pac-Man" arcade video game was released in Japan. Five months later, it arrived in the U.S.

28 years ago- In 1992, Johnny Carson retired from the 'Tonight Show' after 30 years. Carson was the absolute best late-night show host to ever grace the planet. Doc Severinsen and Ed McMahon left with him.
