About this listen

There's a new book out on the great Johnny Carson who many feel is the best late night host of all-time. Author Mark Malkoff joins Kilby to discuss many aspects of Carson's career as host of The Tonight Show including...the years in New York, the influence of wife Joanna, Johnny's drinking, the move to Burbank, Johnny's privacy, the bitter mean quote from Freddie de Cordova at the end of the show, the Joan Rivers debacle and...why Johnny was the best. Perhaps Kilby said it best: Johnny was smooth and sophisticated. A must listen for any late night historian. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
