William Katz joins Mark to discuss his job as talent coordinator on The Tonight Show in NY, Johnny’s discipline, receiving a bizarre phone call from Gloria Swanson, attempting to book Betty Grable, and discovering David Brenner at an audition.
Your interviews with the talent coordinators/segment producers are some of your best podcasts. They seem to have great stories about the guests and Johnny, Ed, etc.
