Episode description as stored

Johnny Carson didn't just host The Tonight Show —he defined late-night television. In this episode, Mike talks with comedian and pop-culture historian Mark Malkoff , author of the book Love Johnny Carson , about Carson's quiet influence, off-camera generosity, and the unlikely ways his legacy still shapes comedy today. It's a short history lesson, a love letter to show business, and a reminder that some icons never really leave the stage.
