Johnson works for the Lewiston, Idaho Morning Tribune. The idea for "Everybody Has a Story" came from a newspaper reporter named David Johnson. His oldest was an 87-year-old woman from Louisiana who still does her son's laundry. His youngest subject was a 5-year-old boy from Tennessee who liked to float balloons to his grandmain heaven. When all was said and done, Steve had profiled nearly 100 people from Maine to Miami - from the Oregon coast to the Arizona desert. The project started in 1998 and ran through 2004 when Steve reluctantly gave up the project to serve as a commentator on 60 Minutes II. Before leaving, the subject of the story threw the dart (backwards and over the shoulder to prevent aiming) sending them on their next adventure. The second day was mostly shooting and interviewing. Much of the first day was spent trying to figure out the person's "story".
After meeting a family and convincing them that he really wasn't selling anything, Steve and his cameraman Les Rose usually spent about 2 days with their subjects.
