    Legendary producer George Schlatter has saturated television with his incredible talents and humor and now I was lucky enough to have him as a guest. He’s 94 years old and has a vault of endless stories. He’s most well known for creating “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh- In” which ran on NBC from 1968-1973. For two of those years it was the Number One show on television. So popular that Richard Nixon said he probably won the election because of his cameo on Laugh In. George has won a handful of Emmys and has created a resume so long it’s hard to know where to begin. The Judy Garland Show, Cher, Real People. He’s produced specials for Liza Minelli, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Goldie Hawn, John Denver, Shirley MacLaine, Danny Thomas and many more. He created the American Comedy Awards, has a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and produced a few presidential inaugurations. The man hasn’t stopped and it was truly an honor to have him on this show.

    Glenn Scarpelli has a resume that spans stage film and television. From the Broadway stage with Al Pacino and Anne Bancroft to television with Ethel Merman and Norman Lear to film with Peter Bogdanovich and Audrey Hepburn. However in 1986 he left it all behind to follow his heart. Glenn has an incredible Hollywood history and was an absolute joy to chat with.

  • Carnie Wilson Interview
    Jul 17 2024

    Play The Beach Boys and Wilson Phillips and I'm instantly transported back to summertime memories that span most of my life. So getting to chat with someone who comes from BOTH of those worlds was a life highlight. Carnie Wilson (daughter of Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys) was an absolute thrill. We talked about her beginning days, being raised in Bel-Air and attending Charter Oak in the Valley, and forming Wilson Phillips while in high school! She shared all sorts of great stories (Huey Lewis!) and even promised me a front row at her next concert! Loved our time together so much.
