Hi, it's Mark. This week, I am excited to announce the launch of my brand new podcast called Persistence 360.

My first guest spent 10 years writing for Saturday Night Live, comedy writer Alex Bays.

We discussed the incredible story of his struggle-winning tables with no agent trying to make his ultimate dream of SNL a reality. We also discuss

Lauren Michaels, Tina Faye, Seth Myers, and behind the scenes at Weekend Update. I'm looking

forward to you listening, but I need to ask you a huge favor. Can you please subscribe to

Persistence 360 on iTunes leave a review and rate it

this is crucial for me getting the word out

I personally read every single review

thank you for helping me

I knew this is where

comedy was

Johnny 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 hell broke loose backstage.

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

Johnny, want you back?

I walked back through the curtain, very calm.

And Johnny, I took a bow, and Johnny put that little circle up to the finger.

And I knew I Malkoff. Thank you to Justin Burns for his recent donation.

I also want to mention listener Andrew LaPosha, whose name I got wrong last week.
