We're pulling back The Tonight Show curtain, not only to reveal Johnny Carson, but to explore the lore and the legend that were Johnny's Tonight Show reign.Joining us are Love Johnny Carson author and The Carson Podcast host, Mark Malkoff, along with Carson Tonight Show guest and Leno Tonight Show writer, Jimmy Brogan.Mark's new Carson book offers a decade-by-decade deep look at the King of Late Night. Through his multitude of podcast interviews with Carson insiders, Mark peels away the stony myth to reveal that the real Johnny was more like the brilliantly charming, funny man you saw on TV and less like the icy, ramrod figure,  of legend, stealing himself from social intimacy. In actual fact, in order to get from points A to B, Johnny had to hold his gaze on the horizon and keep moving or he would attract a crowd. Mark and Jimmy share what made Johnny so important to them and to comedy itself. Jimmy recalls turning down his initial invitation to guest on the show because although his crowd work was extraordinary, you can't do that with a studio audience and he knew he wasn't ready.Fritz, a standup comedian who became an NBC weatherman worked upstairs from The Tonight Show. He was groomed by talent coordinator Jim McCawley to appear on Carson and then easily fill in when a guest fell out.Mark's deep research reveals a Johnny few have seen: the private man behind the poise. We learn about his secret yearning to be a singer. (he took three weeks of lessons to duet with Julio Iglesias as Willie Nelson ), his need for strong boundaries with fans, and his quiet interest in humanism and social justice. Mark also debunks myths about famous feuds with Wayne Newton and Joan Rivers, while Jimmy shares his own Joan Rivers talk show audition story and memories of the bumpy Carson into Leno transition.From Kermit the Frog guest-hosting The Tonight Show to Johnny's competitive streak, sensitivity and complex charm, this episode dives into the brilliance, insecurity, and humanity of a television legend. Plus, Mark tells us about his own outrageous social experiments, including overcoming his fear of flying by living on an airplane for 30 days, visiting every Starbucks in Manhattan in one day and collecting keys to cities from Mayors across America!In current media --Weezy:  Netflix Documentary, The Perfect NeighborFritz: Apple TV+ documentary, Stiller and Meara: Nothing Is Lost Path Points of InterestLove Johnny Carson: One Obsessive Fan's Journey To Find The Genius Behind The Legend by Mark MalkoffMark MalkoffMark Malkoff on WikipediaThe Carson PodcastMark Malkoff on InstagramJimmy BroganJimmy Brogan on WikipediaJimmy Brogan on InstagramJimmy Brogan on Mark's PodcastThe Perfect NeighborStiller and Meara: Nothing Is Lost

California gubernatorial candidate Stephen J. Cloobeck weighed in on Katie Porter abruptly walking out of an interview. Conway promoted the upcoming Morongo Party on October 18 with signups at kfiam640.com/promotions. The crew shared classic one-liners from comedy legends like Dick Van Dyke, Jay Leno, and George Burns—before Bellio got hit with a playful “boom roasted.” The show closed with Dodgers Game 3 anticipation, word of an arrest in the Palisades Fire case, and a string of four jewelry robberies in Woodland Hills. 

 Air traffic controllers are already calling out just days into the shutdown, leaving Burbank Airport without a staffed tower and forcing San Diego controllers to handle its traffic remotely. The shortage is causing delays nationwide and adding financial stress to workers worried about missed paychecks. Meanwhile, Jay Leno gave Conway's crew a personal garage tour, called in for laughs, and sparked Conway's list of favorite women at iHeart. By day's end, Burbank Airport returned to full operations, but the pressure on air travel is only mounting.

Parking just got pricier with meter rates jumping 50%, while Disney rolls out new corporate-style travel deals. In Colorado, a man was slapped with a shocking $20,000 parking bill. And Conway wraps the hour asking—where's your Lowe's?

Johnny Carson, David Letterman and Jay Leno made the late night talk wildly popular viewing for American audiences for decades, but those days are fading fast thanks to declining ratings and ad revenue.

This week, we dive deep into one of the internet's most intriguing conspiracy theories: the Black Eye Club. We explore the curious pattern of celebrities, politicians, and influential figures appearing in public with prominent black eyes - particularly on the left side - and the theories surrounding what this might mean. From George W. Bush and Jay Leno to Adam Sandler and Elon Musk, we examine the extensive list of public figures who've been photographed with these mysterious injuries, along with their often unusual explanations ranging from bicycle accidents to microphone mishaps. We also discuss the potential symbolic roots of this phenomenon through ancient mythology, exploring connections to Odin's sacrifice of his eye for wisdom in Norse tales and the Eye of Horus from Egyptian lore. Finally, we look at various theories about what these black eyes might represent - from initiation rituals into elite secret societies and humiliation punishments to more sinister explanations involving adrenochrome harvesting and even alien parasites entering through the eye.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian Adam Yenser joins Adam in the studio! Adam kicks things off by venting about his ongoing communication struggles with everyone in his life, before discussing a frustrating encounter at Home Depot's Pro Counter, which sparks a conversation about the absurdities of everyday errands. Adam Yenser reflects on performing stand-up comedy on cruise ships and why those audiences aren't always the sharpest, while the two riff on everything from Ozempic for dogs to Andy Warhol's BMW art car worth tens of millions.Elisha Krauss stops by to cover the latest news headlines, starting with Joy Reid's controversial claim that white men are incapable of inventing anything. Her comments spark a spirited back-and-forth about race, culture, and historical achievements. The crew also weighs in on a viral Reddit debate about whether it's rude to ask for a to-go box when someone else is footing the bill, and they cap it off by reacting to Rosie O'Donnell's harsh criticism of Jay Leno after Netflix's Biggest Loser docuseries revealed his cruel behavior toward a contestant.Finally, candidate for Governor of California Leo Zacky joins the show to share his campaign platform and vision for the state. He outlines his plan to undo what he calls the destructive policies of liberal progressives, citing corruption, wasteful spending, and failed projects like the high-speed rail. Adam suggests that fixing California could be as simple as doing the opposite of Gavin Newsom, which leads to a broader discussion about racial issues, political dysfunction, and the urgent need for stronger leadership in California.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH ADAM YENSER:Show with Yakov Smirnoff – The GROVE IN ARKANSAS September 5th-6thMcCurdy's in Sarasota September 10th-14thYOUTUBE Show: The Cancelled NewsINSTAGRAM: @adamyenserTWITTER: @cleancomedian69FOR MORE WITH LEO ZACKY: Running for CA GovernorINSTAGRAM & TIKTOK: @leoszackyWEBSITE: www.leozacky.comFOR MORE WITH ELISHA KRAUSS: INSTAGRAM: @elishakraussWEBSITE: elishakrauss.com JOURNAL: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/author/elisha-krauss/Thank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineIf you're 21 or older, get 25% OFF your first order + free shipping @IndaCloud with code Adam at https://inda.shop/Adam! #indacloudpodMINTMOBILE.com/ADAMoreillyauto.com/ADAMPluto.tvLIVE SHOWS: August 29 - Provo, UTAugust 31 - Torrance, CASeptember 6 - Charlotte, NCSeptember 12-13 - El Paso, TX (4 Shows)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
