Perhaps you are confusing things with the Oscars and the sealed envelope bit. Johnny Carson had nothing to do with the Oscars. On the other hand the Amazing Kreskin, an Esp practitioner- and marketer of a board game Kreskin"s ESP may have performed on the Carson program.The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson sometimes featured "The Great Karnak", in which Carson 'divined' the answers to questions he had not seen before, which had been placed in an envelope and hermetically sealed in a mayonnaise jar and kept on Funk and Wagnall's porch since noon the day before... One of Carson's best characters! (IMHO)
Currently the host of The Tonight Show is the long time host Jay Leno. The hosting position originally belonged to Johnny Carson and Conan O'Brien had hosting duties for about a year before Leno took over again.
Johnny Carson never did "reruns" of his shows; every show was new and fresh. Carson took plenty of vacations, but whenever he was away, one of a number of "guest hosts" would take the big seat. Jay Leno was one; Don Rickles and actress Joan Rivers were others. When Carson announced his impending retirement, NBC tried a number of different people who had guest-hosted the Tonight Show, and settled on Leno pretty quickly. So the straight answer would be "There were no permanent hosts of the Tonight Show between Carson and Leno." My complaint with Leno is that when he took over, he "pulled up the ladder behind him", and never allowed anybody else to guest-host the show, and never allowed new talent a chance to develop their own styles. Like a professor who refused to teach, he tried - intentionally or not - to block any competition from developing.

Alex Maas Carson is still alive and well (as of March 16, 2012), when was seen leaving a birthday party in Los Angeles. It appears she chose to stay out of the public limelight after the death of her husband, Johnny Carson. When you think of it her only claim to fame was finding Johnny Carson and getting married, before that she held small time jobs and was a virtual unknown. After Carson's death since she had no real career she probably supports herself with money inherited from Carson.
It sounds like you are familiar with this restaurant since you've dined there previously.
Animal Trainer Julie Scardina, followed by pro football Hall of Famer and analyst Terry Bradshaw.Actually the above answer is not accurate, [going by imdb's credits] the person who made the most appearances on Leno's Tonight Show was Robert Covarrubias. He appeared as various characters in sketches, followed by Adam Smith & Shannon Ratigan, then animal expert Julie Scardina, followed by Nina Bergman, then Ross Matthews and then Terry Bradshaw.Although if the question is strictly referring to celebrity appearances & not people who appeared on camera who worked for TTS, then Julie has the most appearances.
