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 over laughing.

It makes me so happy.

I made him laugh.

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

My wife at the curtain all held real loose backstage.

People were running up and he 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. Our guest today is five-time Emmy winning producer, director, writer George

Schlatter, probably best known for executive producing the groundbreaking comedy show Laughing.

We got together at his office in Los Angeles, California.

Enjoy.

I'm here with George Slaughter. Enjoy.

I'm here with George Slaughter in your office. Thanks for having me here.

Glad to have you.

I wish you were a little older, but that's all that would deal with you.
