LateNighter Podcast Network - Podcast Rankings and reviews

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.

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 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.)

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!
