Talk Is Jericho In Memoriam: The Amazing Kreskin – 88 Times on Johnny Carson & 2 Times on TIJ
We pay tribute to George Joseph Kresge Jr. aka the Amazing Kreskin, who was a Johnny Carson favorite and appeared on the show 88 times! Kreskin passed away December 10, 2024 at the age of 89. Chris spoke with back in 2019, so in remembrance, we’re releasing that episode again! Kreskin told some great old Hollywood stories about Carson, the antics they pulled together (one of which involves planking Johnny Carson and having Bette Midler sit on him), and the mind-reading feats Kreskin performed on Carson’s show. You’ll also hear how Kreskin got his “Amazing” name, and about the signature trick that Kreskin performed throughout his life. Plus, Kreskin used to help law enforcement solve crimes, and remembers one close call with the mob!
