TV Legends Tops Sales on Amazon
Carson sets sell well postmortem
For days following the Jan. 23 death of Johnny Carson, several of the Top 10 slots on Amazon's DVD and VHS lists were occupied by Carson titles The Ultimate Carson Collection and Heeere's Johnny! The Special Collector's Edition.
"It's a testament to his status as a TV legend, and the fact he was such a part of so many people's lives, that these collections are selling such great numbers," Brant Berry, VP of Carson label R2 Entertainment, said last week.
"We're shipping 100,000 units of The Ultimate Collection this week. Prior to Johnny's death, we had sold 300,000 copies of the set, but we expect that number to double in a very short time."
The Special Collector's Edition boxes are available exclusively through Amazon and R2's johnnycarson.com.
