Interview: Brent Johnson
46:00 Share

In 1969 Johnny Carson was hosting The Tonight Show and, in one particular episode, Bob Hope headlined.  After Carson finished interviewing Hope he called out his next guest, George Gobel.  To everyone's surprise the person that walked out on stage was most certainly not Gobel.  It was none other than the Italian Crooner himself, Dean Martin.  Now, as was Martin's style in those days, he was already two cognacs into the next day's hangover, which made for a rocking good show.  Eventually Gobel did make it out on to the set.  When he finally did, he complained to Carson, 'Having to come on last!  Having to share the stage with legends!'

He turned to the cameras and asked, "Do you ever get the feeling... do you ever get the feeling that the whole world was a tuxedo, and you were a pair of brown shoes?"  In this, the 28th episode of Making Sense, Jeff Snider and Brent Johnson talk fin de siècle political-economy while Emil Kalinowski holds up a pair of egregious brown brogues.
