“Just getting caught up on these episodes, most recently Emily Marshall, who was so down to earth, humble and honest. Emily Marshall, I can assure you the interview was not boring.”

“I just missed the Carson era. I was seven when he had his last show. I vaguely remember the buzz around the event but was too young to understand what was going on. My parents would talk about Johnny Carson’s show with fondness and glee, like they were talking about a relative. Though I had never...”Read full review »

“Wow, I stumbled across this podcast when Dana Carvey was on. I was not a huge fan of Carson when he was on, my most vivid memory was trying to sleep while my college room mate religiously watched. But after listening to the one podcast, I am hooked. I am not sure I have come across a podcaster...”Read full review »

“I grew up watching Johnny Carson with my dad. The American Masters episode on PBS made me sentimentally teary-eyed both times I watched it.
To have Mark - who is well on his way to becoming a recognizable name in his own right - go back and examine many of the elements of the show and the man...”Read full review »

“Mark is a member of Generation X, but possesses a passion for show business and the entertainment industry of generations past. An earnest and enthusiastic interviewer, Mark walks into interviews having done his homework (often to the shock and surprise of his guests). The comics have similar...”Read full review »

“I have long been a Carson fan and think this podcast was a great idea. Unfortunately the experience is somewhat ruined by the interview style. A good interviewer knows when to stop talking - he doesn’t. His chatter is endless, too fast and he often just talks over answers that the interviewee...”Read full review »

I thought I was a nerd when it comes to all things Late Night TV and variety shows and it turns out I’m just a goon.
The depth and breadth of knowledge the host possesses is absurd and inspiring.
I truly hope that the well heeled listener takes time to throw their...”Read full review »

“Having had the pleasure of witnessing dozens of Burbank tapings from the sidelines 1978-1986 just an arms reach or two from Mr. De Cordova, this podcast has brought much validity to light. The variety of Mark’s guests is fantastic. The stories are insightful and delightful. Kudos to the research...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to several episodes now, and I’m struck by the skill and research in which interviews are handled. Legitimate guests giving great insight into one of TV’s most popular, yet mysterious figures. This podcast is both an homage to Johnny and the era, and a deep-dive that doesn’t come...”Read full review »

Really, there is a relaxing of your...”Read full review »

After college, I bought the box set DVD collection of The Tonight Show’s Greatest hits (pre Internet and Youtube). That was my only way of watching...”Read full review »

“Having been a guest on this podcast, you might think I’m biased. Of course you’d be correct. However, depending on your interest, if you want to know what it was all about and what it was like to work for and with Mr. Carson, the interviews with staff are the best.
Mark does his research, knows...”Read full review »
