To kick off the very first episode of “We Got Company”, Sebastian sits down with comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look into the minds of two stand-up masters. Jerry and Sebastian pull back the curtain on the comedic process, debating the risks of testing out new material at dinner parties and questioning whether either of them can actually be considered "social." Jerry hilariously quizzes Sebastian on exactly how much prep he did for this conversation. Sebastian opens up about how meditation has completely changed his life—and credits Jerry for being the one who pushed him to finally try it. Despite being in the business for over half a century, Jerry shares his deep gratitude for the industry and explains why he still finds pure joy on stage. Jerry turns the tables by pressing Sebastian to reveal his ultimate, pie-in-the-sky show business opportunity. Plus, you won't want to miss the end of the episode, where Jerry surprises Sebastian with an incredibly special gift to celebrate the launch of the show! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

   Nobody knows the inside story of why CIA Director John Ratcliffe was in Moscow Tuesday but while he was, 5 "Doomsday Planes" were in they sky over America including one that spend all day flying by KC.  What is going on?    Dolly Parton was truly loved by millions both young and old and from every possible background.  She was a singer, actor, philanthropist and the person that just made everyone feel great.  What an amazing life.  We have a clip of her on the Tonight Show w/Johnny Carson that displayed every one of her traits all at one time.    We've got better new names for Lake Ontario than Lake America.  Mayor Q says he stands with Canada now, not with the USA as politics matter more than country.   In sports, Patrick Mahomes is running the scout team 18 days before the first game of the season.  49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan draws the short straw and has to talk about his owner Jed York getting popped in a prostitution sting.  Charles Barkley blasts the WNBA for it's "awful year."  In DC, the Redskins are making a comeback and we support it fully.  And the Royals have now won 9 in a row.

This week, Kelli and Troy are diving into one of late night television's messiest feuds, Johnny Carson and Joan Rivers. After Johnny helped launch Joan's career, she eventually became his permanent guest host on The Tonight Show. But when Joan left NBC for her own show on Fox, everything fell apart. From blacklisting allegations to Joan's attempts to reconcile, Kelli and Troy look back at the feud that lasted until Johnny's death.

Donald Trump's political problems are getting harder to ignore — and his options overseas may be shrinking just as fast. A brand-new Reuters/Ipsos poll has Trump's approval at just 33 percent, the lowest of his presidency, with 64 percent disapproving and a remarkable 80 percent of Americans now expecting the Iran war to drag on. Meanwhile, Trump's promised quick resolution with Iran looks increasingly elusive: the negotiating period has expired without a deal, the Strait of Hormuz remains a dangerous sticking point, and Trump is escalating his rhetoric even as his practical choices for ending the conflict appear increasingly limited. We'll look at a president boxed in abroad, battered in the polls at home, and running out of room to maneuver on both fronts. Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta may be pulling a trick from Johnny Carson's Carnac the Magnificent when it comes to predictions. Acosta recently guessed that President Trump would check out of the White House early, before his term is up. Acosta cited trump's issues with cognitive decline, a disasterous job on affordability and the possibility that the Democrats could sweep the midterm elections as reasons for Trump's growing frustration. Acosta also said a major event could force Trump out, like if he is caught overtly trying to steal the midterm elections. Military analysts think a big catastrophe forcing Trump out might not be far off if he continues with his Iran plans. We will put it to our Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston. Find David Cay Johnston: https://substack.com/@davidcayjohnston https://www.dcreport.org/ Christian nationalists are gaining more of a foothold in America with Trump‘s Religious Liberty task force and the promotion of laws that would force public schools to display the 10 Commandments in classrooms.

Peter Lassally passed away last moth, but his influence on late night televison is second to none. Ispoke with author Mark Malkoff about Lassally and his time as executive producer for the likes of Arthur Godfrey, Johnny Carson and David Letterman.

Continuing our I Love the 90s series, we move on to 1992, when Batman Returns and Wayne's World ruled the multiplex and Bill Clinton got saxy on The Arsenio Hall Show. Don and Dude drop the needle on one gritty, G funk hip hop album and one crushing heavy metal release that show the evolution of both genres, connecting both records to a world of the Dream Team dominating the Olympics, Mortal Kombat draining quarters at the arcade and Johnny Carson signing off from The Tonight Show.The AlbumsDr. Dre – The Chronic (1992)After leaving Ruthless Records and co-founding Death Row Records with Suge Knight, Dr. Dre used his solo debut to introduce G-funk, building slow, heavy grooves from Parliament-Funkadelic samples, live keyboards and Moog synthesizer lines. The album opens with the mission-statement intro "The Chronic," moves through the diss track "Fuck wit Dre Day," the cruising anthem "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" that introduced Snoop Doggy Dogg, and the Grammy winning "Let Me Ride," before closing on the hidden bonus cut "Bitches Ain't Shit." Shaped by the tension of the 1992 Los Angeles riots and Dre's split from Ruthless, The Chronic plays as a genre defining record that launched Snoop's stardom and set the template for West Coast hip hop.Megadeth – Countdown to Extinction (1992)Formed by Dave Mustaine after leaving Metallica, Megadeth used its fifth album, produced by Max Norman and released July 14, 1992 on Capitol Records, to trade pure thrash speed for tighter song structures and broader themes of war, addiction and environmental destruction. The record opens with the aggressive "Skin o' My Teeth," moves through the signature single "Symphony of Destruction," the internally conflicted "Sweating Bullets," and the farm crisis ballad "Foreclosure of a Dream," before closing on the ambitious, thrash leaning "Ashes in Your Mouth." Recorded in Los Angeles the same week as the Rodney King riots, Countdown to Extinction hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and became Megadeth's commercial breakthrough, proving technical metal could thrive alongside grunge.Diggin AlbumsFinn Wolfhard – Fire From The Hip (2026):The Stranger Things actor's second solo album, co-written and co-produced with Clay Frankel, Cadien Lake James and Colin Croom, pairs bright, hook filled indie rock guitars with introspective songwriting about growing up and changing relationships.Jeffrey Gaines – Jeffrey Gaines (1992):The Harrisburg singer songwriter's self-titled debut, produced by David Kershenbaum, introduced his soulful blend of acoustic driven rock, heartfelt ballads and expressive vocals on standout tracks like "Hero in Me" and "Headmasters of Mine."Echo & the Bunnymen – Apples for Isaac (2026):The Liverpool post punk band's first collection of new songs since 2014's Meteorites, produced by Ian McCulloch, features drumming from Blondie's Clem Burke on ten of its eleven tracks, recorded before his death in 2025.Billy Strings – So Much for Goodbyes (2026):The flatpicking bluegrass guitarist's new album, produced alongside T Bone Burnett in their first collaboration together, is dedicated to his late mother Debra Apostol, whose own artwork appears on the cover.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back."Are you crying?

Energy management, decision making, and knowing when to walk away are at the center of this conversation with Mark Malkoff, author of Love Johnny Carson.Mark Malkoff is a comedian, filmmaker, and interviewer who spent eight years and nearly 400 interviews building The Carson Podcast. That work became his first book, Love Johnny Carson, written with biographer David Ritz and a USA Today bestseller. He's back on the show fourteen years after his first appearance — back when he was the guy making viral creative stunt videos.In this conversation, we cover:Guarding your energy: Why Carson stayed alone all day and showed up minutes before showtime — treating energy as the one thing worth protecting — and what that means for anyone who has to perform without burning out.Saying no to protect the work: He turned down film roles and refused to chase trends, because staying number one meant declining almost everything that wasn't the show.Making other people look good: Carson's rule was that the guest gets the laugh, and the same instinct drove how fiercely he protected and publicly thanked his staff.The cost nobody edits out: An honest look at the reviews he couldn't let go of, the drinking, and four marriages — and why Mark won't hold Carson up as a life to copy wholesale.Walking away, and the power of asking: Why Carson left at the top to go actually live, plus Mark's own craft — the long game, the homework, and the curiosity behind nearly 400 impossible interviews.If you make things — if you write, record, build, or perform — this one's for you. Carson is that rare figure who's both a model and a cautionary tale, and the line Mark keeps returning to is the one worth carrying out the door: follow the curiosity, and don't mistake the work for the point of the work. Grab Love Johnny Carson wherever you buy books, and start on The Carson Podcast for the interviews underneath it.Connect with Mark:WebsiteThe Carson PodcastConnect with Erik:LinkedInThreadsFacebookBlueskyThis Podcast is Powered By:Brain.fm - 20% off your first monthDescriptDescript 101CastmagicEcammPodpageRodecaster ProGrab Shortcasts from Beyond The To-Do List by Blinkist:http://beyondthetodolist.com/blinkistSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode on Bad at Sports, Duncan MacKenzie, Ryan Peter Miller, and Brian Andrews sit down with artist, organizer, and Door County Contemporary co-founder Shane Walsh at the close of another sunny and slightly delirious weekend in Door County. The conversation ranges from the growth of the Door County Contemporary fair, the peculiar magic of creating a temporary art community in Wisconsin, and the challenge of building an audience for contemporary art outside major metropolitan centers. Along the way, Shane discusses his own abstract painting practice, the virtues of Detroit-style pizza, and why a successful art fair might really just be "arts summer camp." Shane talks about the evolution of Door County Contemporary from its inaugural edition into a larger and more ambitious event, reflecting on how local partnerships, community engagement, and a relaxed atmosphere have helped make the fair feel distinct from the larger art-world circuit. The crew also dives into Shane's own painting practice: lush, unhinged abstractions informed equally by modernist painting histories and the visual language of 1990s punk culture. The result is a conversation about painting, community, and finding ways to make art experiences feel meaningful, generous, and fun.

Bill Maher welcomes media mogul Byron Allen to Club Random for one of the most remarkable origin stories you'll hear all year. Long before building a multibillion-dollar media empire, Byron was a 14-year-old kid hanging around NBC, studying Johnny Carson like it was graduate school and writing jokes for Jimmie Walker alongside young comics named Jay Leno and David Letterman. Bill and Byron trade stories about Carson, the Comedy Store, Hollywood in the '70s and '80s, early career missteps, and the mentors who changed their lives. Byron explains how his mother's persistence shaped everything he built, why showing up earlier than everyone else became his greatest advantage, and why he still believes health—not money—is the ultimate measure of wealth.

On the All New episode We think it's Funny Tom Rhodes joins hosts Mark Schiff and Daniel Lobell. The conversation kicks off with genuine chemistry as the guys trace their 20-year history in the comedy scene, bridging a natural connection into deep reflections on legendary influences like Johnny Carson and Richard Pryor. The episode builds around an incredible storytelling dynamic when Tom shares a terrifying yet darkly comedic account of almost drowning during a scuba diving trip in Thailand. In an extraordinary coincidence, it turns out that all three comics on the mic have separate near-death drowning stories, prompting each host to share their own remarkably close calls. The episode beautifully balances these high-stakes stories with lighter, spontaneous moments, including a debate over what truly qualifies as a sandwich and a hilarious breakdown of the worst gifts they have ever received in relationships. Tom also reveals how a recent burglary inspired his new one-man show, detailing his philosophy on finding gratitude for the things that weren't taken. It is an open, natural, and engaging episode packed with authentic storytelling. Check out the full conversation on the We Think It's Funny Podcast and subscribe for more unfiltered comedy.

It's been said that you can spot an American from a mile away. Travelers to Europe are advised to adjust their attire to blend in with locals and avoid looking so … casual. The French think Americans are loud and rude, and Europe has a long tradition of sneering at how classless we all are, even before Trump.I spent a month in Italy, and it's a beautiful place. The slow living, the long naps when all the stores shut down for hours during the day, the tiny cars, the laundry drying on the balconies, the fresh food at the Farmer's Market. I feel lucky that when I came back from Italy, I was pregnant and having my baby is the single greatest thing that has ever happened to me. But I'm also glad she grew up in America.I used to travel to France to cover the Cannes Film Festival, and again, I admired their way of life, the food especially. But every time I stayed too long, I began to miss my home in America. There is something thrilling about living in a free country that I've never felt anywhere else.It seems to me that if you are born here, you make up your life as it goes along. It is not planned out for you, necessarily, although in some cases, I guess it probably is. In my case, it wasn't. I knew I could invent myself any way I wanted. And if I didn't like that version, I could reinvent myself. We're like our country, a work in progress. It's always there for the taking, that promise of opportunity.Donald Trump is all of America's freedoms wrapped up in one imperfect man. He broke through the thick layer of oppressive thought and speech and showed the world that here, you really can say anything you want - as long as some crazed totalitarian doesn't try to shoot you. That's the country I want to live in. It isn't that the greatest writing or art has come from a place like America. Plenty of great works have come from places that don't center freedom as their main objective. But once you've tasted it, you can't give it up.In his speech last night, Trump said:The American founding represents the best ideas and traditions in history by the best people, like you. You can be loyal to Karl Marx or you can be loyal to America. You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both. As for those who peddle Marxist lies about our heritage, tell our children that we live on stolen land or that our heroes were oppressors, they're doing something much worse than slandering our past. They are slandering and attacking our future. Not going to let that happen.They're trying to tear down the great American character to destroy the people who declared independence, who crossed the Delaware, who settled the West and conquered the skies. You know who those people are. But we will never let that happen.In America now, two stories are competing to claim the right to rule the future. Trump is telling the better story, the one America was founded on and the one we've all believed, at least up until recently, when a new wave of progressives decided that the better story paints America as a corrupt, rotten, white supremacist empire that has to be torn down to the studs and rebuilt.They must be terrified about the 2030 Census because they've decided to die on the hill of illegal immigration, which is fast becoming their most important issue. That, alongside Democratic Socialism, is a recipe for disaster.This was Bill Clinton's bummer message on the Fourth:I always thought Bill Clinton was a good president, but reading that just now makes me think he wasn't. All he's ever been able to do is point the finger at the other side and never offer any real solutions. He's not the man in the arena. He's the man on the sidelines.What I love about Trump and his supporters is how much they love America. They love it so much that they plant flags all over their homes. They admire the Founding Fathers. They call themselves Patriots. We didn't have that kind of pride on the Left when I was growing up.And even now, so many see the American flag and the love of country as dangerous, racist, bigoted, fascist. Whoever told those people that is what MAGA is about lied. They're protective of America's laws and its border. That is out of love for the country. The Left has taken almost everything from them. They've locked them out of culture, forbidden them from participating in any of their major events, dehumanized, demonized, and disenfranchised them. But the one thing they couldn't take was their citizenship. They hit the jackpot just by being born in America. To think it would be so easy for people all over the world to come here illegally and claim that prize or to come here and attempt to remake America into something it was never meant to be devalues the one thing they treasure most of all. I've always been a proud American. I've always preferred this country over any other, but only in the last few years have I understood what it means to be a Patriot, to be ready to fight for the country I love. And that is because of the people I've gotten to know on the Right.This country is worth fighting for. I might not agree with all of the policies on the Right, or even Trump himself, all of the time, but I'd rather have the future of this country in the hands of people who love it the way Trump does than people who hate it, the way so many on the Left do, just because their candidates are weak and their policies are toxic. I wanted to write 250 things I love about America, but it got too long, so this will have to do. Here are just some of the things I love:I love the interstates as part of the great legacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower.I love the Pacific Ocean because it stretches along the state. I love Catalina Island off the California Coast, where I spent many a summer with my best friend.I love seeing our history in the many cultures that came here, like Chinatown, Little Italy, Mexican food in LA, soul food in the South, Irish bars and pubs in the middle of nowhere. And yes, you can appreciate a nation of immigrants while still policing our borders now. I love how nice people are in some places, like California, Ohio, and Iowa, where they smile at you on the street.I love the weather extremes, from the dusty plains to the snowy mountains to hurricanes by the sea.I love the historic monuments from the Civil War and the Revolutionary War.I love the town squares that you can still see if you drive through the middle of America. Even though many are abandoned, they still look like hope to me.I love how each town square has a church, a post office, and a school.I love the many farmlands that blanket the Midwest.I love the small mom-and-pop coffee drive-throughs, and even the convenience of a Starbucks in nearly every town.I love Route 66 and how people still drive it and visit the forgotten places.I love the absurdity of Las Vegas, how it sprouts up impossibly in the middle of the desert.I love the American writers who helped shape our country's sense of itself - Mark Twain, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Flannery O'Connor, Richard Ford, Maya Angelou. I love the musical traditions that started here: Jazz and the Blues. And became Rock n' Roll. I love the Legend of Sleepy Hollow and the town that still remembers it.I love diners and dive bars.I love Gone with the Wind and how it's still the highest-grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation. I love The Twilight Zone and find it timeless, as relevant today as it was in the 1950s.I love the footprints at the (Grauman's) Chinese Theater in Hollywood.I love the US military and its devotion to the country. I love the wildflowers that bloom in California every year.I love soft-serve ice cream at the DQ.I love Levi's.I love New York pizza.I love Solvang in California.I love driving up the Oregon coast. I love the songs of Bob Dylan.I love the tap dancing of Fred Astaire.I love how anyone can be a star on YouTube, no matter where they come from, but YouTube couldn't have been invented anywhere but America.I love how I could build a business as a single mom in a one-room guesthouse in Van Nuys, and that business would, five years later, become profitable because I worked hard and had a good idea. And then, when my career went up in flames in 2024 because I voted for Trump, I could build another career on Substack because that is what America is all about - inventing and reinventing yourself.I love the innovative spirit that built America in real life and online.I love reading about the early settlers, the Puritans, and the homesteaders, how much they sacrificed to help make America a home. And I love the history of the Native Americans, too, even if so much of it remains a tragedy now. I love high-speed internet and Wi-Fi that are available almost everywhere, and if they're not, I have a hotspot.I love the old American cars that were not just exceptional but beautiful.I love the tradition of baseball.I love that people faithfully watch football, even if I don't.I love the tradition of sourdough bread all over social media.I love that the best basketball players in the world are from here.I love that every state is different from one to the next.I love Harper's Ferry, how it's frozen in time.I love that we found a way to move on from the trauma of our past with slavery and how we fought a bloody Civil War to end it. I love that we were the good guys in World War II. We did the right thing in entering the war and helping the Allies win. I love that you can be anything here. The door is always open. It's up to you to walk through it.I love that America is a Christian nation, and you can see that if you drive across it. But it's also a country that stands for freedom of religion, too.I love the American comedians: Groucho Marx, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Steve Martin, and Johnny Carson.I love that the best films from the 1970s were American movies, like The Godfather, The French Connection, Taxi Driver, and Network. But I also love more modern masterpieces by American filmmakers, like No Country for Old Men and Sideways.I love that people play the lottery, thinking one day they will hit the jackpot. They never will, but they can still dream.I love Thanksgiving and the way we celebrate it in America, which is to say, all together as one big dysfunctional family.I love the tradition of Halloween and how every October, the pumpkins and costumes come out. I love the way the weather changes. I love the Declaration of Independence and those who dared to build this wild, untamed, optimistic work in progress. I love that America is always looking to the future to find a better version of itself and its people. I love that so many Americans still believe in the American Dream.I love watching the movie Jaws on the 4th of July.I love that people watch fireworks, even if I never do, because they traumatize my dogs.I love that we have a holiday just to celebrate the day we became a country, a ragtag group of deplorable revolutionaries who set out to build a brand new country. Oh, the audacity of it. I love living here and would not want to live anywhere else. Happy 250th Birthday, my beloved country.Happy 4th to you, dear readers. Thanks for everything. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.sashastone.com/subscribe

Two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey drops by Club Random for a conversation that goes exactly where you'd expect—and plenty of places you wouldn't. Bill doesn't let him dodge the tough questions, pressing Spacey on the allegations that derailed his career, the court cases that cleared him, and what it's like trying to rebuild a life from what he calls "show business jail." The two cover Hollywood's double standards, Jack Lemmon's mentorship, therapy, the Playboy Mansion, and Netflix shelving one of Spacey's completed films. Spacey also unveils what feels like an entire repertory company of impressions—Johnny Carson, Jack Lemmon, and more—as the conversation veers into Roman history, classic cinema, Dick Van Dyke's workout routine at 100, and why he thinks his best work may still be ahead of him.

Bill Maher sits down with Jeff Dunham, the world's most successful ventriloquist and one of the highest-grossing comedians of all time, for a conversation that goes well beyond comedy. From their Johnny Carson debuts to decades spent on the road, the two swap stories about success, audiences, and the strange realities of show business. Jeff shares what it's like performing the same act in places as different as Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv, while Bill weighs in on modern politics, free speech, and the cultural shifts that have transformed comedy. Along the way, they get into Gen Z's aversion to capital letters, the disappearance of common sense, and why comedians with props still don't get the credit they deserve.

SNL alum (1986-1992) Victoria Jackson has assembled her lifetime collection of handstand photographs, age 5 to age 65, her original poetry that began at age ten and continued through her TV years where she sang her original songs on Johnny Carson, Saturday Night Live, numerous talk shows and movies, and her original art rarely seen. She dots the collections with personal stories, detailing the highs and lows of her show biz career, marriages, and home life, sprinkling the colorful tales with favorite Bible verses that kept her strong in the face of adversity. Her recent diagnosis of stage 4 breast cancer was the instigator that led her to comb through boxes and boxes of treasures and pick the ones she wanted to share with the world. Like the story of Hezekiah in the Bible when God said, "Get your things in order because you are going to die soon," Victoria is doing just that.

Kevin Nealon (SNL, Weeds, Hiking with Kevin) joins us this week for a quietly honest conversation that goes a lot deeper than you would expect. Kevin tells the story of an active shooter scare at his Bridgeport stand up show that ended with him hiding behind a dumpster, the audiences who keep dropping mid set as his fans get older, and why the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, not SNL, was the real dream he was chasing the whole time. We also get into Garry Shandling as his mentor and dearn late friend, the Sandler private jet tour where he only did ten minutes a night, and the surprises that came with walking into Carrie Fisher's house. Thank you to our sponsors:

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Bishop Robert Barron about the lost art of civil debate and why figures like William F. Buckley, Phil Donahue, and Johnny Carson helped unify Americans across political divides; how tribalism, wokeism, and partisan media are destroying healthy public discourse; the growing public clashes between President Trump and Pope Leo XIV over immigration, morality, and public policy; how Catholic leaders in politics should engage in direct dialogue with the Vatican instead of social media battles;  how the collapse of America' shared faith may be weakening social cohesion, moral stability, and civil discourse; the rise of conspiracy thinking, tribalism, and online mobs as symptoms of a deeper spiritual crisis; why AI and artificial intelligence could weaken human thinking, meaning, and religious life if people outsource their minds to technology; his warning that wokeism and critical theory are spiritually divisive movements rooted in power politics rather than truth or justice; and why churches should resist adopting woke ideology even if it costs them popularity or numbers, and much more.
