I knew this is where comedy was.

Goni 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 overlapping.

It makes me so happy.

I made him laugh.

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

My wife at the curtain all held real loose backstage.

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

Johnny, you want you back.

I walked back through the curtain very calm and Johnny, I took about

and Johnny put that little circle up at the finger and I knew I knew I knew I knew. Welcome to the Carson Podcast. I am Mark Malkoff. Thank you for being here.

This week our guest is responsible for possibly the most famous clip in the 30 years of the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson.

That man is Ed Ames. We got together at an office in Los Angeles, California. Enjoy.

Ed Ames. Thanks for being here.

You're welcome, my boy. It's to welcome indeed. 30 years of Johnny Carson

and your appearance is probably I would say the most famous clip out of anything.

The thing with Johnny Carson was that happens to be the longest laugh in the history of television.

More so than any other event that occurred on any other show ever.

That got the most laugh response and lasted the longest.

How long did it last?
