I happened to come across this. It is really informative and entertaining. Highly recommend!

Essential listening for comedy nerds, and in the long run, the work Mark is doing here and on the Carson Podcast is going to be important historically. I LOVE THAT THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE AD-FREE

So happy to have come across this - incredibly well-informed interviews. Much respect

Another home run here, enjoy listening to you and all your guests are just amazing, much appreciated

I listened to nearly every episode of the Carson Podcast and learned a tremendous amount of new things each week. Mark is always well researched, kind and humble. Great job!

Mark is a great interviewer and knows his stuff!

I was thrilled to stumble upon Mark’s new podcast, and discover its broader scope but his same grasp and enthusiasm for the subject matter as his past pod. It also happens to happily fill the void left behind for me when Gilbert and Frank’s Amazing Colossal Podcast sadly ended.

When Mark’s Carson Podcast ended, it was like moving away from a beloved friend. Honestly, The Carson Podcast was a subject of or jumping off point for discussion of Carson’s legacy. Great guests from workers & secretaries to celebrity guests & guest hosts peppered the episodes. This was the podcast we looked forward to the most. When it ended, we were saddened & listened & to favorite old episodes. Now, there is again something to look forward to. Thanks Mark!

Mark Malkoff's knowledge of Saturday Niight Live history, broadcast AND initial 2-hour dress rehearsal version both, because he apparently spent the first half of his life largely on the standby lines for both versions, is staggering. He can discuss the minutiae of late-night TV history with an unparalleled command of the facts. On freevee Carson Show broadcasts, excerpts from Mark's Carson Podcast episodes now appear between some segments--he's become the official chronicler! As for one of Mark's standard questions, I'll add my own opinion: he frequently asks guests who might take over for Lorne Michaels, but of the 7 or 8 shows I've listened to here so far, no one has said the obvious: Colin Jost. He's the other lifer there, along with Lorne. (Perhaps the next several guests I listen to will all have said so.)

First he did “The Carson Podcast“ and it was phenomenal and now this. Nobody gets the people he gets and asks the questions he asks, if you care at all about television talk shows, comedy etc. this is the one for you!

Mark is filled with all the ultra deep cut questions that no other show would ask. As a comedy nerd, I eat this podcast up.

Mark is without peer when it comes to knowledge about late night programming, and his interview skills are top notch. His research is so thorough: when the Andy Breckman episode started I thought “I wish he’d ask about Hot Hero Sandwich, but that was Saturday mornings/afternoons, so he probably won’t.” I should have known better! These episodes cover so much & it’s a sensational companion to The Carson Podcast

So glad Mark is back in my ears on a weekly basis! He sounds refreshed and more relaxed! Loved what he gave us with Carson and can’t wait to hear about all of these historic late night shows! Cheers! Patrick Youngblood

Just started this podcast, but really enjoying it so far. Mark has an incredible amount of knowledge of all things late-night. The stories he's able to get out of his guests are really fascinating. I like that he is interviewing guests that I haven't heard much from before.

I discovered Mark Malkoff when I was preparing for a job interview with one of his guest that was on the Carson Podcast. That episode led me to listen to each episode of the Carson podcast. Loved it. I remember thinking how good Mark is with his research and approach. Now he’s done it again with all late night comedy. There is nothing more entertaining to me than finding out how it was made. Can’t wait for more! Patrick

I learn a LOT every episode. Mark is so funny.

No one anywhere is more prepared or more thoughtful than Mark. Just an outstanding interviewer.

I have fond memories of Mark, so subscribing to this podcast has been a joyful experience. The interviews are impressively researched in a way that feels very personal and comforting. Mark has a stellar memory and ability to tie in notes and previous work. It’s been fun getting to know these folks through the late night lens. And the way rapport is built so naturally because there’s a foundational understanding of the interviewee’s background. It’s refreshing to listen to a podcast skip the small talk and provide education and insight that would otherwise be missed opportunities by most hosts. Proud to know Mark and see him diving into his interests head-on—it’s always been a motivation for me to do the same, shame-free.

But not funny funny just funny how you learn how things become funny. Marc has a great demeanor and really ask the right questions and like other podcasts there is no fluff and get straight to the point if you appreciate comedy you’ll appreciate this podcast.

Loving this podcast so far. Especially Robert Smigel

Love Mark’s breadth of knowledge of TV History and the great roster of comedic geniuses he interviews!

Mark has been astounding me and making me laugh with his stories and knowledge of the late-night scene for years. So glad he’s back! These episodes are so easy to dive into and devour.

Great podcast, can’t wait for the next guest every week, always an entertaining listen and learn more even if one is not familiar with the guest! Great host, great stuff

Mark Malkoff has the most amazing interviewer. He knowledge is 2nd to none. I feel like I get know the guest like a friend! Kudos

Mark does it again with this incredible podcast! It’s smart, funny, and entertaining—just like Mark!

I never leave a review, even for my favorite podcasts but this guy is hands-down amazing. He knows his stuff inside and out. He is fully prepared. I am jealous of this guy. I mean, he is talking to people that I wish I could and asking questions that I wish I would, but he knows his material so well he is talking about things that I had no idea about. He even knows things that his guest doesn’t quite remember. It’s a wonderful listen. Listen to the Robert Smigel episode and you will be fully impressed.

And he was truly missed. I loved his show on Johnny Carson and look forward to all of the interesting stories he has for us. This one was a winner. He knows how to draw out every bit of information from his guests and is so knowledgeable. Look forward to the next show.

I’m only a few episodes in but Mark’s unparalleled knowledge of late night tv is incredible. Even the guests are amazed when he reveals some tidbit that they thought no one else knew about. If you have any interest in late night talk shows, this podcast is hard to beat!

Well Mark Malkoff has done it again. He is the king of insider info for late night and I am here for it! It’s a must listen!

Mark Malkoff’s podcast, which goes behind-the-scenes of some of the most popular late night shows, is comedy gold.

I don’t think anyone knows more about late night television than Mark Malkoff. This is the perfect podcast for anyone who loves the late night, its history, and the people who made it happen.

Mark does so much research and is able to ask so many interesting questions from the people he interviews. He takes you behind the scenes of so many popular shows and provides insights to give you an idea of what was really happening. His Carson Podcast is great example of his attention to detail. He has the ability to attract top celebrities to his podcasts.

Mark Malkoff simply astound me! His incredible knowledge of the subject matter and his guest is such a joy to listen to. Marc is truly one of the great talents of our generation!

I highly recommend this podcast! Mark Malkoff really does his research which truly creates an amazing interview. Great guests, great stories…if you are a fan of late night television, this podcast is a must!!!

Loved the Carson Podcast. Was sad when it ended. So glad to have Mark back doing what he does so well now with all of late night. I’ve listened to the first three and can’t wait for the next one!

Great to see you back.

Mark’s Carson Podcast was and still is a revelation with some of the more obscure guests (a personal favorite, the recently departed Emily Marshall), provided fascinating interviews because of Mark’s thorough prep work and congenial interviewing technique. I’ve listened to all of them, most more than once and now I look forward to this new, broader look at Late Night.

This is fantastic and Mark is a pro! He does such a great job with his podcasts, and I love hearing the backstories from such iconic late-night celebs.

This such great news Mark has a new podcast. Loved the Carson podcast He does Remarkable research and interviews

I have been a big fan of Mark’s Carson podcast. This podcast brings the same level of quality guests but expands the horizon to the larger world of late night. I love hearing the behind the scenes stories of SNL. Mark knows his stuff and has a way of drawing out new info from his guests that you won’t hear anywhere else. So fun! B

Mark Malkoff, the host of the long-running Carson Podcast is working with the crew from “LateNighter” in this new podcast covering past and present late night TV shows. It’s so great to hear Mark’s unbridled enthusiasm behind the mic once again covering one of my all-time favorite subjects, and the guests he’s interviewing are some real heavy-hitters in late night television. I highly recommend it!

I love it when Mark amazes his guests by how much he knows about them. I love Mark's personality, he is like a comedic encyclopedia. he goes so deep that he gets guests to talk about things, I have not heard them talk about on other podcasts.

Mark is the ultimate late-night fan and expert. His interviews are so insanely researched that he will often know more than the guest! About their own life! Worth a listen to even the most casual fan of late night.

Mark Malkoff does an exceptional job with research and has a expert/academic knowledge of late night. His Carson podcast indicates that. The interviews are fantastic and although there aren’t many episodes out now, I am excited to hear what comes next! What I like about this podcast as opposed to some others similar in content is that it gets to the point-the interview quickly. The host is focused on getting a good interview rather than trying to do hack-y jokes or promote themselves. Although Mark certainly should get recognition for everything he does, he is all in and does a thorough job.
