Ruth Carson was a gregarious woman with a keen sense of humor, but no matter how famous her middle child became, she always seemed to withhold approval. At one point, she watched a Carson monologue with a reporter and, when it was over, dismissed it as "not very funny."
After Ruth Carson died, her family found a box in her bedroom containing newspaper clippings about Johnny's career going back to his early days in show business. Carson kept the box in his closet for the rest of his life.
