Mad the news here as well. Can't say I'd ever really seen his stuff, but I have heard of him. Must be pretty famous if he stopped performing when I was 4 and I've still heard of him
The end is nigh!

It's sad to see Carson go, but he's been off the map for several years now.<br><br>One of his signature skits was the "Great Karnak", where he'd guess the contents of an envelope, then open it . . . I'm sure there have been some parodies of it, even recently.

Oops.

One of those famous Karnak gags:<br><br>*The Great Karnak holds the envelope to his big turbaned head* Sis boom bah!<br><br>*He opens it on the side, pulls out the note to read it.* What is the sound of a sheep exploding?<br><br> <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->
