Customer Reviews
Superb podcast
Mark does such a terrific job of reliving the glory years of the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Listening each week is a beautiful step back in time. Mark’s attention to detail, raw enthusiasm and delivery make this a podcast not to be missed. Other interviewers could learn so much from Mark and the gem of a podcast that he has produced. 10/10 from Peter down under.
A Snapshot of A Golden Age
This was a real find. The rich flow chart of comedy and the rise to the top is endlessly interesting
Who would have guessed Uncle Joey from full house missed out on SNL due to Dana Carvey !
Here's Johnny: Fascinating and funny
This podcast is a wonderful collection of anecdotes and insights about Johnny Carson and the Tonight Show. It's a brilliant idea, because every comedian and writer remembers their time with Carson with tremendous clarity, detail and humour. Addictive listening.
