I knew this is where comedy was.

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 that you could really go great.

My wife at the curtain all held on the road police backstage.

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

Oh my God.

Johnny wants 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 Malkop. This is the podcast where I talked 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 comedian impressionist and frequent Johnny Carson guest

Rich Little. We got together at his home in Las Vegas, Nevada,

and at the end of the episode after my outro, we have

bonus audio of Rich Little telling an infamous Tonight Show story involving Dick Sean.

You need to hear this. Enjoy the episode.

How do you explain that everyone's talking about Carson again?

Well, he's still very loved.

I do him in my act still and gets a big reaction.
