Show Notes Episode 434: Johnny Come Lately
Part Two of “Late Nite with Dave Bledsoe
This week Host Dave Bledsoe gets banned from the Bronx Zoo after being found drunkenly screaming and throwing his own feces at a monkey who “will never work in show business again!”. (Just another Tuesday for Dave) On the show this week we tell you about the King of Late Night, that guy who made those Girls Gone Wild Tapes. (Kidding, we mean Johnny Carson!)
Along the way we discover that the real radio talent in Dave’s family is with his sister and she should be the one with a podcast. (Honestly, this could be said for all the members of his family.) Then we dive right into the early history of a kid from the Midwest who had a dream, he would be on the radio! He chased the dream and became one of the influential people in Hollywood. (We still believe Ed McMahon is the power behind the throne.) After we spend some time on hagiography, we finally get around to dealing with the dirt about the REAL Johnny Carson. (Turns out, he was kind of dick. We can say that now, he’s dead.) Finally we explain to you the REAL reason Johnny retired.
Our Sponsor this week is Rent a Sidekick, your one stop shop for sidekicks, cronies and yes men! We open the show with Ed McMahon feeling GOOD and close with Kelly Oliver and World War Two tub thumper!
