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 over laughing.

It makes me so happy.

I made him laugh.

But with Johnny, you knew you had a kid audience that you could really go crazy.

My wife at the curtain, all held real groups backstage.

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

Johnny wants you back.

I walked back through the curtain very calm and Johnny, I took about and Johnny put that little circle up the finger and I knew I was ready. Welcome to the Carson Podcast

I am Mark Malkock.

I want to thank podcast listener Peter Hillman for his recent donation supporting me and the

podcast. This week I am joined by comedian actor, host, Will Shriner, who had 14 appearances on the Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson.

Will Shriner spoke to me from Florida.

One quick note, after we were done recorded, Will and I kept talking for ourselves,

not for the podcast, and as we chatted it occurred to me, you might like to hear our post show chat.

Will was cool with me keeping it in so stay tuned for that.

And now my chat with Will Shriner. Enjoy.

Will Shriner, thanks for talking with us.

You are truly a Carson fan, so it's nice to chat with you and see that you are keeping the memory of Johnny alive.
