JAMIE STENGLE Associated Press DALLAS — When Johnny Carson retired from"The Tonight Show" after 30 years, one man was determined to make the iconic set part of his burgeoning collection of television memorabilia.
Comisar — who has been tracking down and preserving television memorabilia since 1989 — had dreamed of creating a museum to house his collection, but when that failed to come together, he decided it was time the items leave the temperature-controlled warehouses where he's been caring for them. After graduating from high school, Comisar became a comedy writer and began spending time on studio lots, where he realized that items from the TV shows he loved were languishing, with no system in place to save or archive them. He said that when shows went off the air, props would be sold or thrown away, or end up back in the costume department for rent.
