from Forgotten Hollywood · host JLJ Media

In this episode, I spoke with Howard Smith regarding his book "My Friend Johnny: The Last 20 Years of a Beautiful Life with Johnny Carson and Friends". In My Friend Johnny, Smith paints an intimate portrait of the man behind the iconic desk: funny, kind, and generous, yet deeply complex. From tennis matches to quiet moments, their bond lasted until John's passing.Forgotten Hollywood is on Facebook.
