(CNN) -- Johnny Carson, host of NBC's The Tonight Show for nearly 30 years, died Sunday of emphysema. He passed away this morning, Carson's nephew, Jeffrey Sotzing, told CNN. Carson, a longtime smoker, was 79 and had announced in 2002 that he was suffering from the disease.
Carson was a professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics, and he was the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. In 1984, at age 33, he became the youngest major division director in the hospital's history, as director of pediatric neurosurgery.
