Podcast appearances and mentions of Johnny Carson

MONSTER PARTY GETS BELLICOSE WITH BLURBS! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, experience a description conniption as they revisit a much-loved topic/party game. Just when you thought it was safe to read a movie poster, MONSTER PARTY goes off on a… TAGLINE TIRADE!!! Although the emotional level is high, the rules are still the same. We each take turns offering up taglines from various genre films, and the others have to guess the movie the tagline belongs to. Sound easy? Not so much. Sound fun? You bet your encyclopedic knowledge of film taglines ass! But, don't expect softballs like “In space… no one can hear you scream,” or “If this one doesn't scare you, you're already dead.” This is MONSTER PARTY, and we go deep! Joining us for this scintillating slogan smackdown is a dear friend of MONSTER PARTY and a man who knows his way around a good (or bad) tagline. He's a turbo-talented comedian, actor, and filmmaker who has appeared in a plethora of movies and TV shows, including HOUSESITTER: THE NIGHT THEY SAVED SEIGFRIED'S BRAIN, MAD ABOUT YOU, DR. KATZ, PROFESSIONAL THERAPIST, 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN, BRAIN DONORS, and TOTALLY HIDDEN VIDEO. For several years, he was the host of KTVU'S MORNINGS ON 2, and his stand-up has been featured on multiple shows, most notably, THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO and JOHNNY CARSON. THAT'S RIGHT, JOHNNY FRIGGIN' CARSON! Please consider yourself lucky to welcome the great... MARK PITTA! IT'S A TAGLINE TIRADE! JUST THE WAY OLIVER REED INTENDED!  

A beloved actor and part of the greatest television comedies ever, Art Carney will forever be identified as Ed Norton, blue collar pal of Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason) in The Honeymooners. First a radio star, Art started working with Jackie in the early 1950s on The Cavalcade of Stars where the Honeymooners began as a series of sketches. Those sketches earned Art five Emmy awards and an enduring legion of fans. But Art was much more than Norton -- he racked up an impressive number of leading and supporting roles on tv and in movies including that of Harry Coombes in the sweet film Harry and Tonto about a cross country trip by a man and his cat. The Academy agreed with Art winning an Oscar for the role! As always find extended clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Art Carney? The Honeymooners is a seminal bit of early television magic -- here's the full bit where Art's Ed Norton teaches a little golf to Jackie Gleason's Ralph Kramden. https://youtu.be/QNauilZRzHk?si=j7amLMQNP7NFWefw Art was a favorite of Johnny Carson and he always managed to bring a little comic anarchy along for his guest spots. https://youtu.be/aUelHDAh1kk?si=CHj_4LZj9xPrS-Ax Art won an Oscar for Harry and Tonto -- and it also made Art a cat person! https://youtu.be/jxInBUR2zLU?si=CXn7bSFqU4B8oXku

Say hello to Red Skelton, a favorite of comedy fans for five decades. Red considered himself more of a clown than a comedian and his routines were filled with colorful characters and sight gags. A solid draw in movies back in the 1940s, Red took the leap to television when that medium arrived and he was a smash. Red was also famous for "working clean" which made him a family favorite both on screen (large and small) and on stage. Red also had a side career as a painter, specializing in -- what else -- portraits of clowns. And, in a sweet honor, Red's hometown of Vincennes, Indiana has the Red Skelton Museum of American Comedy. Not bad for a clown!! As always find extended clips below and thanks for sharing our shows. Want more Red Skelton? Red's skits often had a bit of mime and this one -- the Doughnut Dunkers -- was a routine he revisited throughout his career. https://youtu.be/F4NcL3U6LHU?si=MnySSB2ZG50IVZur Red had many famous characters including boxer Cauliflower McPugg who may have stayed in the game a little too long. https://youtu.be/ID9B2i_BvFY?si=vMzQ1_yxNZt-_vj0 Red went way back with Johnny Carson and his visits to the Tonight Show were always fun! https://youtu.be/jnZwa6w0rcI?si=736Xaz3BwehKgLD9

Hey Slaycaters, we're back with another shocking, mysterious death in Mexico — this time, beloved actress Carol Wayne, most known for playing the ‘Matinee Lady' in sketches with Johnny Carson. Without giving too much away, let's just say a fight with her travel companion in Manzanillo, Mexico led to Carol storming off.  The next time she was seen — she'd be on the news, not The Tonight Show.  This case, from 1985, is chock full of suspicious circumstances and an investigation that ranges from shoddy to shady — fueling a host of theories and conjecture to this very day!   As always, thanks for Slaycating with us and please stay safe out there!  XXOO - The Throuple Slaycation is recorded at the Brooklyn Podcasting Studio by Josh Wilcox Editing is by Kelley Marcano MORE KIM!:  Subscribe to SLAYCATION PLUS and get weekly ‘More Kim' bonus episodes.

This episode was originally released on 2/1/2020. While new episodes of Breaking Walls are on hiatus I'll be going back and posting the older episodes. ____________ In Breaking Walls episode 100 we focus on the radio career of Lucille Ball, arguably the most famous comedienne of the twentieth century. She rose through the ranks in New York as a model before a small role in Eddie Cantor's Roman Scandals brought her to Hollywood in 1933 where she gained prominence. When the 1940s began, Ball was a b-film actress known for playing the other woman. As she gained critical respect for both her dramatic and comedic ability, she insisted that her and Desi Arnaz made a perfect on-screen duo. It led to a revolution in the way TV was shot and produced in the 1950s, all under their company Desilu. —————————— Highlights: • Jack Haley, Phil Baker, and RKO • Lucy Meets Gale Gordon • How a Holiday Publicity Trip to New York changed Lucy's Life • Lucy meets Desi • Too Many Girls • Lucy and Desi Elope in November 1940 • Harold Lloyd's A Girl, a Guy, and a Gob and The Old Gold Comedy Theater • The Tragic Death of Carole Lombard and Lucy's First Miscarriage • Lucy Stars on Suspense • Desi Strays and Lucy Files for Divorce • The Couple Reconciles and Decides To Work in Radio • Desi and Bob Hope • CBS, My Sister Eileen, and My Friend Irma • Lucy Guests with Jimmy Durante and Bob Hope • Eve Arden and Our Miss Brooks • Lucy Says "Yes" to Bill Paley and My Favorite Husband is Born • Jess Oppenheimer, Bob Carroll Jr., and Madelyn Pugh Join The Team • Lucy Wants to Work With Desi • I Love Lucy is Developed and Philip Morris Signs On • The I Love Lucy Radio Pilot • Changing History and Looking Ahead —————————— The WallBreakers: http://thewallbreakers.com Subscribe to Breaking Walls everywhere you get your podcasts.

So what does today's title mean? You'll have to ask Carnac the Magnificent! Don't know who Carnac the Magnificent is (which is not surprising, because if you did, you probably wouldn't know what a "podcast" is)? That's Johnny Carson's Tonight Show character that Doug likes to quote. OK, spoiler alert, the answer is "What is today's episode about." Now you're probably thinking "But I thought it was a bit and it was supposed to be funny?" Well, that's true, but that was no less funny than most of Carson's jokes. Don't believe me? Here, check out a clip: Carnac The Magnificent - Yahoo Serious, Turner and Hooch, and Hershey Bar | Carson Tonight ShowAnd if you'll be anywhere near Austin or Houston, TX on Oct. 4, you can meet Doug and Strickland in person and drive some cool construction equipment.

On this week's episode of You Are What You Read, we are traveling back in time to 1962 when the one-and-only Johnny Carson redefined late-night television as host of The Tonight Show. Traveling with us, is Mike Thomas with the best selling biography he co-wrote with Bill Zehme, Carson the Magnificent. In 2002, Bill Zehme landed one of the most coveted assignments for a magazine writer: an interview with Johnny Carson—the only one he'd granted since retiring from hosting The Tonight Show a decade earlier. Following Carson's passing in 2005, Zehme embarked on an exhaustive nearly decade-long research journey, interviewing dozens of Carson's colleagues and friends to craft this biography, although his efforts were halted by a cancer diagnosis. ” Mike Thomas, Zehme's former research assistant, completed Carson the Magnificent to offer this honest assessment of who Johnny Carson really was.

Say hello to the King of Cleveland, the Lord of TV improvisation, and Potentate of the Price is Right game show -- Drew Carey. A regular guy, Drew's enduring and broad appeal has made him a fixture on television since the late 1980s when he competed on Star Search. His Tonight Show debut in 1991 won Johnny Carson's approval and earned Drew the fabled invite to join the guests on the couch. From there Drew became a reliable guest on talk shows and helmed cable specials, then in 1995 launched the Drew Carey Show sitcom, a smash which also featured one of his future improv co-stars Ryan Stiles. Speaking of improv, that was Drew's next conquest, hosting the American version of Whose Line is it Anyway which led to his next star turn, as the replacement for Bob Barker on the Price is Right game show. All the while, Drew has never lost the everyman touch, in whichever medium he chooses! As always find extended clips below and thanks for sharing our shows. Want more Drew? A successful first appearance on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show has launched many a comedy career, and when Drew got his turn at bat in 1991 he knocked it out of the park. https://youtu.be/k6Bt-q_pRh8?si=AdWSqigtOcxJW5nR The Drew Carey show was a hit sitcom and like other hits it had a memorable supporting cast. Here's a nice set of highlights from the show. https://youtu.be/5VN1A5yab5o?si=Ok7fGP_71Ss5Xdza Drew was the host and sometimes participant for the wildly successful improv game show Whose Line is it Anyway?

Chuck Todd breaks down the Trump–Putin Alaska summit and the uncomfortable reality it revealed: Trump siding with Moscow while European leaders rallied behind Zelenskyy. From Putin's effortless manipulation to Trump's worldview that could leave Ukraine out in the cold, the conversation exposes how America's message to the world has shifted away from defending democracy. He also unpacks how today's GOP—reshaped by MAGA, not conservatism—has abandoned Reagan-era principles, embraced government expansion and authoritarianism, and morphed into a party unrecognizable from its past. Then, legendary sports analyst and Radio Hall of Fame inductee Colin Cowherd joins Chuck  for a wide-ranging conversation that goes far beyond game scores. From the craft of storytelling to the evolution of “edginess” in sports media, Cowherd reflects on his path from radio guy to national voice, why podcasting feels like “radio with a cocktail,” and how he balances audience feedback with staying true to himself. Along the way, he and Chuck dig into the overlap of sports and politics, the state of modern media, and why Gen X may have lost its leadership moment.The conversation also veers into college football's money-fueled future, Major League Baseball's challenges, and the broader question of where traditional networks fit in a fractured media landscape. Whether it's the shifting power of the Big Ten and SEC, the relevance of Johnny Carson, or how podcasting creates a uniquely intimate experience, Cowherd makes clear that for him, it's always been about the joy of preparation, the art of storytelling, and the thrill of connecting with an audience.Finally, Chuck unloads takes on several stories from the world of sports and answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction02:00 Putin owned the show at the Trump/Putin Alaska summit03:00 European leaders physically joining Zelenskyy to back him up04:00 Trump is more generous to Russia than Europe/Ukraine05:30 Trump's worldview leads him to back Putin07:00 Trump doesn't view Zelenskyy as an ally08:00 Putin tells Trump what he wants to hear09:15 Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle 10:15 Trump's administration is divided over Russia12:30 Trump sent a message that America doesn't defend democracy13:45 Today's Republican party is NOT the “party of Reagan”17:30 The Republican party has MAGA in its DNA, not conservatism18:30 Trump is expanding government power, not shrinking it20:30 If Trump rebranded the party as MAGA, the GOP would go along22:15 The GOP has been changed for a generation24:15 Other than the name, the Republican party is gone25:30 Steve Witkoff is in over his head28:00 Colin Cowherd joins the Chuck ToddCast! 29:30 Commenting on sports and politics without sensationalizing 30:45 The importance of educating your audience 32:00 Loving the process and preparation 33:30 Colin always thought of himself as a radio guy 35:15 Did you want to be a play by play guy? 36:30 Colin's journey to a national platform 37:45 Regardless of the medium, storytelling is what matters 39:15 The evolution of "edginess" in sports broadcasting 40:30 Podcasting is radio with a cocktail, is looser 41:45 When did you get over caring what the public thought of you? 42:45 Critics and audience feedback matter 44:30 Favorite books - Johnny Carson 47:30 Relevance of major networks in new media landscape 49:15 FOX has been a perfect fit for Colin 50:15 Colin's corporate partners have let him be himself 51:45 Will Roger Goodell make sure over the air TV gets NFL rights? 53:15 Linear TV viewers are boomers 54:30 Do you consider yourself Gen X or boomer? 55:30 Gen X lost the leadership fight 56:30 Sportscasters like Stephen A. venturing into politics 57:45 The joy has been sucked out of modern politics 59:45 The media has gotten more neurotic as it's gotten younger 1:00:30 When people say "the media" who are they referring to? 1:03:00 Traditional media had more guardrails than new media 1:04:45 COVID dinged traditional media's credibility in Colin's eyes 1:06:30 The siloing of information in the modern ecosystem 1:09:00 Colin's first sports love was college football 1:11:30 Miami won with many coaches, 2000/2001 teams were insane 1:13:15 Miami, USC and Texas are the glamour teams in college football 1:14:00 Non-profit hospital systems fund many of the best football programs 1:15:30 Big Ten schools are massive and flush with cash 1:16:15 What does college football look like in 5 years? 1:18:00 The Big Ten and SEC are diminishing the rest of the schools 1:19:30 College football was lacking in great games before realignment 1:21:00 Chances there's no baseball season in 2027? 1:22:30 The disparity in money between team owners 1:24:45 MLB's star players are in the right cities 1:25:30 Does the MLB need to contract and have fewer teams? 1:26:45 The playoffs are the equalizer in baseball 1:28:30 Baseball needs some level of a salary cap 1:29:15 Any advice on getting into a radio mindset for podcasting? 1:31:15 Podcasts are a more intimate experience for the audience1:32:45 Chuck's thoughts on interview with Colin Cowherd 1:33:15 Spike Lee's comments on the LeBron/MJ GOAT debate 1:36:00 Player prop bets shouldn't be legal 1:39:45 Big Ten's new college football playoff plan is great 1:45:00 Nats split with Phillies, giving fans hope 1:46:30 Ask Chuck 1:46:45 A pathway for older people to get into local journalism? 1:50:15 Could the Republicans postpone elections? 1:53:45 Would there be more criticism if America didn't use nukes in WW2?

In record time, Roseanne was invited to appear on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. The audience couldn't get enough of the "Domestic Goddess."

But the TV show provided many challenges for Roseanne, as she battled writers over the show content and her character.

She went on to host her own talk show. During one episode, she told guest Donald Trump that he needed to run for president, although she staged a presidential campaign first as the Green Party candidate in 2012. After Trump won in 2016, Roseanne found herself reviving her Roseanne sitcom to record-breaking ratings.The success didn't last long, due to a late-night tweet while on Ambien, which quickly derailed everything. Roseanne recounts the story of how her network swiftly removed her from her show. "Cancel Culture" had her blacklisted and she was shunned by everyone outside of Fox News and Dr. Oz.In Roseanne Barr Is America, Roseanne calls out her detractors and defends her reputation that so many have sought to destroy. Roseanne is defiant as she describes how those that came for her are also seeking to ruin America.Roseanne Barr Is America includes an exclusive interview with Roseanne Barr, exclusive home movies and photographs from her youth, clips of her appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, behind the scenes footage from Roseanne, highlights from her Presidential campaign, and even video proof that she can sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a ballgame.Roseanne Barr.

Mark is excited to announce his upcoming book LOVE JOHNNY CARSON! It comes out October 21st and being published by Dutton Books. Please preorder here.

WABC Host Bill O'Reilly calls in to touch on the shifting media landscape and his puzzling relationship with Howard Stern. O'Reilly recalls knowing Stern from their Boston University days and even having him on The O'Reilly Factor, but Stern now denies knowing him, which O'Reilly finds strange. He critiques Stern's transformation from rebellious satirist to Hollywood insider and political activist, suggesting it alienated his core audience and may explain declining SiriusXM subscriptions. O'Reilly reflects on the disappearance of true media icons like Walter Cronkite, Rush Limbaugh, and Johnny Carson, saying no one of that stature is emerging today. He praises Sid for being one of the last daring voices in radio and predicts that Stern may soon retire, though he might stay if he accepts a pay cut when his current contract is up.

Two weeks ago, when Paramount cancelled “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” insiders in Hollywood and Washington alike deemed the move suspicious: Colbert had just called his parent company's payout to Trump a “big fat bribe” on air. Paramount, for its part, claims that the decision was purely financial—Colbert's show is losing forty million dollars a year. But both the political and economic explanations reveal how the landscape of late night has changed since Johnny Carson's day. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider Colbert's body of work and the state of the genre more generally, from the so-called late-night wars of the nineties through to the modern challenge of making comedy in a country where nothing feels funny anymore. “Late-night hosting is an art, but it's also business. So, if your job is to get as many eyeballs on you as is humanly possible, what do you do?” Schwartz says. “It's not easy to have fun with the news, as it is. And if you are having fun with it, something may very well be wrong.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Strangers with Candy” (1999–2000)“The Daily Show” (1996–)“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” (2015–26)“The Staying Power of the ‘S.N.L.'

Trying to become a normal country in a normal time. Listener call-in’s on the Left’s use of the environment as a political issue and the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Historian Victor Davis Hanson’s take on the 2019 Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax. Clips from Jay Leno and Johnny Carson on avoiding the politicization of late night comedic television.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Patrick opens the hour reflecting on late-night television’s shift from the genial wit of Johnny Carson to what he sees as the harsh, politicized comedy behind Stephen Colbert’s cancellation. He shares how digital life devours nearly half the waking day for most Americans and shares research revealing one-third of teens now turn to AI chatbots for emotional support rather than real people. A call from physicist Tom throws open the gates on AI’s privacy pitfalls and ethical quicksand, urging parents to recognize just how quickly children can slip away into digital intimacy with machines. ‘We’re With Colbert’ rally draws just 20 protesters. (00:58) Audio: Johnny Carson on why he doesn’t get into “serious” issues on The Tonight Show (05:45) Americans spend nearly half their day online — whether it’s work or play — ‘eye-opening’ poll shows (12:49) A 3rd of U.S. teens now say they prefer talking to AI companions over real friends (24:23) Tom - I am a physicist and AI pioneer. What you are discussing is super important. It promotes your confirmation bias just like humans do. Everything modern or recent takes precedence. I am dedicated to developing ethical AI. (39:21)

Stephen Colbert's out, Greg Gutfeld's in, and late-night TV is a shell of its former self. Rob Long breaks down what went wrong, why Johnny Carson wouldn't survive 2025, and how Kimmel, Stewart, Meyers, and Oliver turned late-night into political homework at bedtime — while fighting over the same half of the audience.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Stephen Colbert's show was cancelled because they were losing millions of dollars a year, it had nothing to do with President Trump. Colbert and his late-night pals destroyed late night comedy by making it overly political and monotonous, rather than focusing on laughter as people seek escape from politics. Past great comedians like Jay Leno, Johnny Carson, and Steve Allen built this genre professionally and these hosts have exploited and ruined it. Also, America First Legal revealed emails showing Biden DOJ and White House coordination on Merrick Garland's 2021 memo directing FBI to address “threats” from parents protesting school policies on COVID, CRT, and transgender issues. The DOJ sought a federal hook despite internal warnings of First Amendment protections and no federal jurisdiction. Emails undermine Garland's independence claims. They coordinated, lied about it and nobody will be held to account. In addition, declassified documents from DNI Tulsi Gabbard reveal the Obama administration politicized intelligence to fabricate a Russian interference narrative in the 2016 election, despite IC reports showing no cyber impact on outcomes, only minor psychological efforts. This laid groundwork for the Trump-Russia probe, involving officials like Clapper, Brennan, Rice, Kerry, Lynch, and McCabe, culminating in a Dec 9 White House meeting and new IC assessment per Obama. We always knew this was corrupt. Later, Alexander Hamilton's views on liberty and government differed with those of Jefferson and Madison. Hamilton's modern appeal among centralized power advocates, as seen in the Broadway musical's popularity with elites and academics. Hamilton proposed lifetime terms for the executive and one legislative branch at the Convention, an idea rejected. Raoul Berger's book critiques implied powers as abusive, emphasizing the Constitution's intent to restrict federal authority and protect state residuary powers. Hamilton in Federalist No. 33 reassured states on the "necessary and proper" clause as means to execute delegated powers only, per Madison and ratification understandings. Afterward, NYC Mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa calls in with an update on his campaign against Zohran Mamdani, Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo. Learn more about your ad choices.
