Goney 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 audience and you could really go great.

My wife at the curtain all held real loose backstage.

People were running up and 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 I am Mark Malkov. 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.

My guest this week is stand-up comedian Mark Schiff, who appeared in Carson numerous times.

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

Enjoy.

So Mark, thank you for being here.

Thank you, Mark, for being here.

Tell me your story.

How did you get on Carson?

Was it a goal? Did you grow up watching Carson?
