At first, I thought RMR had written an article about Gary Johnson, but I think it has more to do with Orson Welles. Check it out.

After that momentous opus (you can never have Too Much Johnson) Welles followed it up with the little seen "Paradise Lost".

Well, Milton Berle felt you could never have "Too Much Johnson", at least, if the rumors were true.........

An episode of Mad About You makes a reference to the legend of Milton 'Just take enough out to Win' Berle:

Paul finds out his Aunt dated Milton Berle and he hesitantly/sheepishly starts to ask her a question about him, she cuts him off and says 'It's true.'. It was the episode with Carl Reiner (which was why I watched it).
