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 he 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 I am Mark Malkoff. This week our guest is

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

Enjoy.

Paul Provenza.

Hey, how are you?

I'm doing great. Thanks for being here.

It is an honor and a privilege to be here. I love what you doing on the show and and I could just talk forever about Johnny.

As a kid growing up in the Bronx, did you watch Carson?

Yeah, man, I watched it like crazy.

And everybody in my family seemed to be an insomniax.
