Heeeeeeeeres Johnny! Behind The Scenes Of Carson’s Tonight Show

Author Mark Malkoff pulls back the curtain on his new book Love Johnny Carson: One Obsessive Fan’s Journey to Find the Genius Behind the Legend — and the wild, never-before-told stories of TV’s ultimate host! Hear how Frank Sinatra saved Johnny from a mob hit, why Joan Rivers’ secret betrayal ended their friendship forever, what Ellen DeGeneres did to allegedly get banned from the show, and the role Carson played in the launch of Saturday Night Live. Mark also reveals Robin Williams’ unfiltered chaos backstage, Rodney Dangerfield’s long road from being banned to beloved, and how Johnny made careers for stars like Burt Reynolds, Drew Carey and Jerry Seinfeld. Plus, stories about the everyday people who appeared on the show, Johnny’s great chemistry with kids, and why animal trainers Joan Embery from the San Diego Zoo and Wild Kingdom’s Jim Fowler and their non-human friends were constant fixtures!
