Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!
I just found this podcast today. Love Emily Marshall’s interviews. She is a wealth of fun information. Going to listen to all of them!
Great Podcast!
A wonderful retrospective about the King of Television with the people who did the show with him! Johnny Carson was perhaps besides Elvis and Sinatra, among the biggest stars that ever graced a stage! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve listened to 31 shows since I reviewed this podcast. The research is impeccable. The hosts verbiage is perfect, with perfect Sinatra like pronunciation! In the world of podcast this is a Rembrandt!
Why we watched Johnny
Mark takes a kindly look at Johnny Carson and his guests. The behind the scene employees reveal history, that is not too salacious. I can’t say enough how much I Love this podcast!
