By JEFF WILSON
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Johnny Carson, the ``Tonight Show'' TV host who served America a smooth nightcap of celebrity banter, droll comedy and heartland charm for 30 years, has died. He was 79. ``Mr. Carson passed away peacefully early Sunday morning,'' his nephew, Jeff Sotzing, told The Associated Press. ``He was surrounded by his family, whose loss will be immeasurable. There will be no memorial service.''
