Michael Jordan has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated 56 times. That easily outdistances Muhammad Ali with 38 covers and Tiger Woods with 30. Oh yes, they keep track of those types of things.
They also keep track of the most times people have subbed in for Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. According to the stats, Joey Bishop was on 117 times, with Joan Rivers second with 93 appearances.
There's cachet to appearing on that many covers or filling in for Johnny all those times. It means something because things like Sports Illustrated and the old Tonight Show mean something. Maybe not so much any more because everyone has a publication and/or a show these days, but that's fine. After all, you have to be pretty good at what you do to be asked back to some place more than once.
Here at this little media empire, we had our second multiple-appearance guest drop in on the show. Indeed, the great Quizzo emcee, Johnny Goodtimes, made his second appearance on The Podcast of Awesomeness today.
Go ahead and take a listen:
Johnny's two appearances are second-most behind the three appearances by Chris Wilson, the mellifulous beat keeper for the punk/rock outfit, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists. Sure, that's not a big deal now, but someday, folks... someday.
Regardless, it's a good thing Johnny showed up when he did because Quizzo Bowl 7 is quickly approaching. Oh yes, Quizzo Bowl 7 is slated for Feb. 19 at World Cafe Live so get your smart friends together and see if you can hang with the greats of Quizzo.
