Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Mark Malkoff, Author, “Love Johnny Carson”

About Harvey's guest:

On today’s show, we’ll be celebrating the life and career of the man who will always be known and remembered as the king of late-night television, Johnny Carson, who hosted the Tonight Show for 30 years, from 1962 to 1992. Now even though our guest was only 16 years old when Johnny Carson went off the air, he can easily be described as Johnny’s biggest fan. He hosted The Carson Podcast for 8 years, which received a Webby Award nomination for Best Comedy Podcast, and he’s interviewed dozens of Johnny’s guests, employees, family and friends. He’s a well-known media personality who’s appeared on many major shows including Good Morning America, the Today Show, MSNBC, and the highly acclaimed CNN docuseries, “The Story of Late Night”. And most recently, he’s written a wonderful book entitled, “Love Johnny Carson: One Obsessive Fan’s Journey to Find the Genius Behind the Legend”. The book sets the record straight about who Johnny Carson really was, according to those who knew him best. And he takes us behind the scenes of the Tonight Show and chronicles the most iconic moments on that groundbreaking show.

He conquered Broadway not once but twice, playing “Danny Zuko” in “Grease”, and then playing the MC in “Cabaret”, as well as starring in a touring production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”. On television, he was a judge for 4 years on “Latin American Idol”, he’s been a guest judge on several other South American TV music competitions, and he was a celebrity contestant on the very first season of “Mira Quien Baila”, which is the Latin version of “Dancing with the Stars”.

The list of awards and accolades this man has won is jaw-dropping: 3 Grammy Awards, a whole slew of Billboard Music Awards, ASCAP Awards, BMI Awards, an American Music Award nomination - and believe me, I’m just scratching the surface. And our guest is also a bestselling author, whose 2014 memoir entitled “A New Day” touched me deeply because it chronicles his remarkable journey of resilience, courage, embracing change and reinvention, and unwavering devotion to musical creativity and family.

He’s also been highly recognized for his extraordinary record of public service, in support of arts education in public schools, the fight against AIDS and Hepatitis-C, and with the Make-a-Wish Foundation and the Miami Children’s Hospital.
