I knew this is where comedy was.

Gonna Carson changed my life twice.

It was just like a dream. It was just like everything I had worked for

and dreamed about has come to fruition.

They said Johnny fell over laughing.

It makes me so happy.

I made him laugh.

But with Johnny, you knew you had a kid audience that you could really go crazy.

My wife at the curtain all held real groups backstage.

People were running up and he said, go back out, go back out, go back out.

Johnny wants you back.

I walked back to the curtain very calm and Johnny Johnny I took about and Johnny put that little circle up at the finger and I I am Mark Malkoff. Thank you to David Rimmer for supporting us on Patreon. If you can please
