I have to confess my age in writing this particular review, because Johnny Carson was off the air by the time I was watching late night television (or rather, watching and appreciating it). For my generation, the names headlining the late night shows were and, with a little bit of controversy, remain Jay Leno and David Letterman. In my case, I had to familiarize myself with Carson through YouTube clips years after he’d retired. Tonight, the most complete compilation of episode’s from Carson’s 30-year-long career as host, starts 4 years into his career (1965) and spans up to 1990 (4 years short of his final bow) in a 15-disc set featuring some great moments and some of the best guest appearances (with a particular focus on comedians for this set, it would seem).

Deadline Hollywood: Pete Hammond speaks with Rich Ross, the chairman of Disney, who conveys to him just how serious his studio is about its “Toy Story 3” Oscar campaign: “We’re going for the best picture win.

Women from Fords Dagenham meet Theresa May to mark release of film about struggle for equal pay
The quartet of women reminiscing over tea, coffee and lemonade in a central London cafe did not look like hardened veterans of the struggle for sexual equality, nor, it has to be said, did they much resemble the usual stuff of the silver screen.
With their neatly set hair and smart-casual clothes, they could have been mistaken for old friends on a weekday jaunt to the capital in search of lunch, a show and perhaps some shopping.
But Sheila Douglass, Gwen Davis, Eileen Pullan and Vera Sime are not only indisputable pioneers in the field of employment equality, they are now the heroes of their own film.
Forty-two years ago, they were among a group of women at the Ford Motor Company plant in Dagenham who walked out after discovering that their male...
