A deep dive into the dark reality of beloved public figure Johnny Carson. The podcast explores his personal battles for control, his wife's infidelity, his rise to power, strained relationships with family, and the struggles and tragic death of his sons.

Jeff Foxworthy still cringes when he knows other comics are watching his work. That persistent insecurity and the desire to always stay funny is why Jeff has a new Netflix special and a whole new act. Jeff talks with Marc about the drive that made him quit his job at IBM to try and get on Johnny Carson. They also talk about how he formed the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and how he feels about being known for his “You Might Be A Redneck” hook even though it hasn't been part of his act for 20 years.
