This movie was very informative. I didn't think that things like this were still going on. I thought the Jackie Coogan law took care of this type of problem. I thought the actor that played Johnny Carson was great, his appearance, voice, mannerisms - amazing! My favorite part was when he threw up his hands at the end of the vignette when he got such a kick out of the kid and asked, "Do you want to take over the show?" It really brought back lots of fond memories of Johnny for me. I didn't see his name listed in the cast credits. Tthe last actor to play Gary Coleman seemed too old to play Gary. But I did like the first little fella. Would like to view this film again.
