Never was? I think you have to have been somebody first, like Mr. T, Eva Longoria, or Connie Chung.

yeah, well, being high on coke or tweaking out on crytal meth or speed or whatever shit he probably does would do that to a person.
johhny neutrons eyeballs are bulging out!

Carson suffers from a REAL malady: the "I Can't Keep My Eyes Open for a Flash Photograph" Syndrome. You know these peeps! They're the poor schlubbs who CHRONICALLY take snaps with their lids only HALF open -- no matter what? SO, early in his career, Carson was sick of seeing waayyyy too many snaps of himself with his eyes half-shut looking like a LOSER or someone who belongs on The Short Bus. So he now commands his lids do a POWER-LIFT OPENING whenever he sees a camera coming out. He so affected and consumed by himself, the dude likely has practiced the technique for YEARS in front of a mirror at home or in his car. He can now do STUPID-LOOKING WIDE OPEN "on demand." Take that onto The 405 in your Beemer and smoke it!

And I have a "theory" as to why a guy like this HITS, gets two TV shows, enjoys wild success and for some cockamamy reason is deemed a "star." But -- another day another post. HA!
