Carson Microphone Garners Attention
exciting piece of history for anyone who loved The Tonight Show with
Johnny Carson. The microphone offered in the auction is the exact microphone
Johnny used on the program and currently has a bid of over $42,000. Not only is
the microphone the one Johnny used on the set with Heritage offering a letter
from the manufacturer as part of the providence of this unique item.
and better with the receipt of this letter from Shure, the mic’s original
manufacturer. Although the provenance of this great piece of television history
was never in question (it came to us from The Tonight Show‘s chief boom
operator who obtained it during a period of technical upgrades in the 1980s),
this letter is further proof of this microphone’s unique status. The opportunity
to bid on this marvelous item is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that may
never be repeated. This microphone, with accompanying letters from the consignor
and Shure, must surely be the “Holy Grail” of collectibles for Carson fans
around the world. Other auctioneers may claim to have screen-used Carson
microphones, but only Heritage can prove it,” remarked John Petty, Director of
Media Relations for Heritage Galleries.
