I knew this is where comedy was.

Gai 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 know you knew you had a kid

or what he had to do you did really go great.

My wife at the Kirkwood, all the loose backstage.

People were running up and she said, 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 am Mark Malcop. This is the podcast where I talk to people

whose lives were changed by going on the Tonight Show

starring Johnny Carson. Individuals that worked on Carson, guests who

regularly appeared on the show and the top people in entertainment that were

influenced by Carson.

Before we begin, I want to tell you about an excellent podcast hosted by my comedian friend

Danny LaBelle called Modern Day philosophers,

in which Danny explores the works of a different philosopher each week with his comedian

guest and tries to find a link between them.

Some past guests include Maria Bamford, Lewis Black, and Artie Lang.

Go check out Danny's podcast Modern Day philosophers on iTunes.
