Customer Reviews
Mark Simone
Well he was one of the most interesting contributors yet. Please have him on again.
Terrific Podcast
I only recently discovered this podcast, even though it has been on for many years. That was my loss. The show is terrific. I've combined listening to new episodes and going back to older ones. The guests all have fascinating stories to tell about Johnny Carson, and occasionally Letterman, Jack Paar and others. The host is an expert in all of these subjects and does a great job asking questions that bring out the most interesting stories. Many of the guests themselves hold important places in the history of television and other forms of entertainment. This podcast is priceless.
