abandoning the idea. Yes, yes this is true. We, I'm not gonna say the guy's name, but we tried to interview him and then afterwards we thought,
well, can we cut that part and that part and that?
And then after a while we were sitting in a pizzeria and I said, you know, we tried.
And I don't think this podcast is a good idea.
And here we are.

Nagle told me that there were 15 callers before we came into this room.
What happened?
Now, I want you to know, before this started, we were having a discussion on should we have
previous guests call in, and we said, no, that's going to take up too much time.
It'll take away from the best.
There'll be a deluge of callers calling him to the show.
And, um...
Why don't we do this then?
I feel like I'm on a fundraise.
Why don't we go out in the street?
We're gonna go out in the street?
Yeah, we'll go out in the street and beg.
Hey Steve, why don't we take some questions from the nice people in the room
we're not all the time
all right so help us out here nice folks people in the room fans of the
podcast we feel so supported
don't you feel supported yes all these people in the room and i it doesn't
bother me at all
that not one human being
in this country or Australia is calling.
It might be a technical issue. Let's start with this gentleman right here. Brendan?
Maybe what's the most irritated you've been with Gilbert during an episode?
This moment.
Do you know the episode that required the most edits? I'll bet you can guess. Ben Darin knows.
Oh wait, there were a few.
In a hundred episodes, who do you think went farthest off the rails?
Ooh.
Any guesses?
Yeah, oh god.
That is correct.
Which?
Frank Ferdorosa.
Gary Busey episode.
Oh, oh, oh yes.
Which would come as a shock to a lot of people.
That Gary Busey.
Gary, the average episode, thank you Don, the average episode requires anywhere between 5 to 10 edits.
So you know, there'll be audio problems. Gilbert will say something that Darrow will call me and say,
please save him from himself and take that out of the show.
But Gary Busey was something like 29 edits because he was just...
My favorite part of that show, by the way, was I was on...
That was the first one we did where Gilbert was live in the room in LA.
And I was sick in New York. I was on the phone.
And Gary Busey said, I don't know you, but you sound like a little girl wearing a child's wig.
And I don't know what that means to this day.
We have someone on the line.
Oh my God.
Do you know this name?
Oh wait.
Gino Salomon.
Oh yes.
Is on the line.
Gino, are you there?
Oh well this is going well.
Hello?
Gino?
Oh yes.
Hi fellas.
Hi buddy, Gino's calling from Milwaukee
How did I know that? You are unbelievable. Yeah, that's me. I want to tell you how this podcast has ruined my life. Go ahead
You're on the air buddy
Okay, I understand late at night. If I've had a rough day, I will go to YouTube and look at old Jack Frost
Will explain what that is
that's a lot of hope video and we don't know i talked about this one but we're
here the end of the block is voice was really high
yeah it it like to bob hope used to be a lot
and i a m and that that when he became all there
i've been in frail it was like
and
and
i think that now should be turned around
line
yeah
i
i'm just gonna take a moment to tell anybody that doesn't know that isn't
familiar with what you're talking about you have to go to you to ban look at this bob
hope special it was one of the last ones when bob was using it right it was like
you would you'll swear
when you watch it that bob hope
had already been dead for ten years at least west is jack frost and yeah with a
little stringy white bank here in elf costume and a pointed hat.
And icicles dangling off of his face and eyebrows. Truly painful.
You could see he doesn't know his own name.
And what, the only idea I have of watching this, Dolores, his wife Dolores is in it,
and I think this was her revenge for all the times he fucked
around on her.
That was it?
That was her plot to put him in a Jack Frost book, Justin.
I turned him on national television.
You gotta see it.
Gino, what else, buddy?
Okay, one more thing too.
I've known Gilbert many years.
I never knew how much he loved to sing and larry ragland a comedian i'd never heard of
the dummy in the window
okay jeno will let it look like a lot of people are thank you buddy do you think
requests
told on the way okay
and you know you have to win this one okay
you don't know dumb in the winter
what what i give us some content what kind of a musician are you
that explain them in the wind i've got the they were used to be this comedian
around the clubs
i'd name larry raglan he used to sing this
on stage and it went a little something like this.
Today I thought I saw a dummy in a window. I looked and it was you
Wearing a new dress as usual
Trying to look your best, impossible
Cause with you it's not really what you wear.
Why don't you wash your face?
It's a disgrace.
Today, we're...
All right.
I just put that behind me.
Thank you, Jane O'Sullivan.
Thank you.

I'm told Rich in Pennsylvania is on line one.

Hi guys.
Long time caller, first time listener.
Okay.

with the paramedic standing by for the uh... for the other side of the group

angriest comedian in the world and he died after we booked him

and then i said what what about pat cooper
that would be a good fallback position all somebody somebody that as as far as
someone who who really doesn't give a fuck yeah and which he's a plug-and-play

electronic board game that word
the the binson price trivia thing from the seventies
nineteen eighty nineteen eighty but at a game called the Omni Electronic Entertainment System with a cart called Vincent
Price TV and Movie Trivia.
I've got a couple here.
Liz, before you go on this room, there was an episode of the Simpsons where they brought
out some kind of magic kit and Lisa... lisa goes all of this must be good
binson price wouldn't want to stay in town
and
that
i i know this this game you're talking about okay hit us and i will give it up
a shot
uh... i don't know if you get off all right this is a nice advice is what's
right over a half-hour
fantastic right all on go buddy
area dot all

uh...
this this in price was egghead
on batman series and choice one frank or otherwise there was a red alert
everybody in this room
or they would't be here
and who was john astin again he was the replacement river
all when it was all
not when they didn't write it in his hands number all
what have you got for us and time
i had a little question about laughing would like to hear that laughing laughing
question go
about that i hear me go on
to recall many popular things came out of the sketches in laugh-in.
Who comes to judge? That was one of the phrases.
That was a better popular phrase, true or false?
Yes, it was Pigmeat Markham.
Yes, and originally they would have Sammy Davis Jr. jr correct doing that in the powder wig and then
they actually found big meat mark that's correct and had him on
yeah but it
they there's something so wonderfully racist about the pension price going
and he would go
he'd come to june
thank you and so on that was fun
we talked to vincent prices daughter by the way
we have a show yet victoria whoops victoria price
uh... what we got here mike but can this be true michael in japan
yet that are they still angry
well i never tell anyone what i'm not
i think what's up
didn't you know
all forgiven michael
well maybe
i do know where there's an affleck stand in one of the local uh...
local department stores.
What is the question you have for us, sir?
Are you really listening to the show in Japan?
Yes.
I downloaded every week, twice a week actually.
You flatter us.
Your English is getting very good.
No, thank you very much.
Now my question is this.
You talk about all the older shows and movies you like, is there
anything in the past 10 or 15 years that's really wowed you?
Like recently you talked about detective shows, well today detective shows have their individual
episodes but then they also have an overarching season long story arc.
Do you follow any shows like that and what do you think about that kind of uh... format
you know what's going on now i know i can't follow like
they're only shows that are popular now and i have where
i haven't seen one episode of uh... and you were that is a badge of honor
discussion that i'm totally uninformed i'd i sort of like the first season of
true detective
not everybody did my wife and i liked it but does that does that uh... that was
that okay and
there was that
girl
i'll i'll
bring this to mister skin
yes
yes well
this mister skin is in the audience in the pride one of our previous guests
yet she i i saw that clip
that was good what
what was easier that question of the caesar america
he was he was on that fast
thank you michael thanks for your question
and thanks for listening all the way to pan
i read and i recommend it to people all the time we appreciate that and what i'm saying and then they say all
walk in
no more than anyone in america
i took a moment to go through a hundred episodes
this week
ten lists of the this might get away from me
and list some of the songs of the partial yet some of the songs that you've favored us with.
Well, I wasn't really ready, but...
This is a partial list. The Lord of the Flatbush theme, the Cinderella Liberty theme, which
you sang to Paul Williams. That's a household hit. Bang the Drum Slowly, this is one of
my favorites. The music from the movie Zapped with Scott Baio. Yes.
Thank you.
You sang the Rainbow Connection and the Phantom of the Paradise theme to Paul Williams.
Oh, yes.
You sang the Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean theme to a reluctant Bobby Slayton.
You sang the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and Town Without Pity with Paul Schaeffer.
You sang the theme from Foul Play to a very stunned Chevy Chase.
Dummy in the Window we already talked about.
You did theme songs from F Troop, Car 54, Thick of the Night, Underdog with Bob Costas.
Oh yes.
That was a highlight.
Roger Ramjet, Captain Nice, and the 430 movie.
The Bert Packerack. To name a few. was a highlight roger ramjet captain nice and the four thirty movie the bird backer rack
uh... to name a few and you tried to sing walk away with uh... renee with
michael mckee and i'd have a look i'd i'd i think he was intimidated i think
that you're in place
and of course the highlight of a hundred episodes the musical highlight
your duets with dick vandike
all my god put on a happy face and supercalifragilistic yeah i'd take van
dyke and i a t saying
to do it together
that was great that that was that was an amazing a career highlights for you
hot yeah
that when but
when you consider my career
that's not saying that the level of that
that
if we have time we'll come back and sing one of the getting book that
decals in long island
is that career highlight
and cap
anyway that's just a partial list of some of gilbert's uh... some of the
tunes that he's warbled on the show
well all these people are calling
and we are
i think it was um...
that guy whose name i still can't pronounce.
Greg Evigan.
Yes.
Yeah.
You almost called him Glenn Evigan.
Yes.
I was about to say, well, thank you, and Frank saw the shape my mouth was taking.
So he wrote down Greg on on a paper and he had worked with this uh...
uh... david ponder pomeranzia who had written to at least two of the songs
from sat did we stop you with that one
joe you got this list that the songs from sat there not your repertoire your
regular repertoire
and a little bit of the paradise the Paradise? Okay. Okay.
Oh, uh, let's see.
Okay.
Or Rainbow Connection?
Oh!
Well, let's do the Rainbow Connection.
In honor of one of our...
Do you have, uh, uh, uh, Nice To Be Around?
That one I don't have.
Cinderella Liberty.
Fuck!
What use are you?
Why don't you do a little bit of Rainbow Connection?
Okay.
Why are there so many songs about rainbows?
It's volumes. Songs about rainbows and what's on the other side.
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions.
Rainbows have nothing to hide.
So many people refuse to believe it I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
beautiful
all of them for the job and i think that
all of us
it's a beautiful thing
do we have another no and all that that reminds me gina told me now he and he
are
he met
top-down Williams recently yes
and paul but he's head
which should be on my tombstone
he said
you know
gilbert could be a very inappropriate
uh...
i urge you to go back and listen to the Paul Williams episode and you'll know right away
what he's referring to.
I did, I did on the Paul Williams episode, I did a bit that I had done way before I met
Paul Williams, which was Paul Williams fucking Shirley Temple I did it on live with Kelly Ripper
And and it went something like this it was like oh oh, oh, oh Shirley, your pussy feels so good.
Oh, thank you, sub to Dick and me, Mr. Williams.
That's beautiful.
Yes.
It's too bad that show, the Copycats, isn't around anymore.
You'd be perfect for it.
See, a lot of people originally thought
it came from rich little yeah
but that was not i don't think paul's gonna get over that trauma anytime soon
since from that episode all we need
i sang the duet
ought nice to be around the school in the role that was also a movie worth
checking out
uh... marshall mason james con do we have a lie while you are all it
do we have a from chicago
mystery right i get i got very good and they gave
copycat
i i want to have
gilbert about is that it's in the people of the at the now all
uh... season
uh...
he had a quick
which is a bad i want to ask
gilbert all
what do you consider to be at the worst episode from that season and why
out that's a
tough one that was in my head in nineteen eighty nineteen seventy nine
day and i think a t a one one eighty eighty one that was off
horrible time to be on the show
and are horrible season
and well i remember a few things I
remember I I hated the writers the writers hated me so one time they wrote
a funeral sketch where I was the body in the coffin and there was another episode
you talk about why you got gotta be careful with these premises
uh... they had david caradine
on the show
and
they had written a bunch of things and then they got the
uh... brainstorm
that he had done that show
uh... kung fu in the seventies yeah and then yeah i don't know he's one of those
characters who wanders from village to village now getting involved in the
people's lives
so they said
wouldn't it be
funny
if he's back
character throughout the whole show
and he just wanders in to bits
and when we were filming it
by the first bit by the first second he shows up
everybody was thinking
oh
fuck this was a bad idea
that's the only s and l theme show i can yeah i can think of yet where they had one idea that they were not
through my
all idea yeah
and uh...
this you know i'm not going like those bids
this sketches on s and l
where it starts off and you know
this one's gonna suck
now i'd not that
uh...
you know like
multiply like and now i'd now back uh... you know like multiply
by ten sketches it was
harlis a fun video actually if you are a with you in the the original cast any
dylan and rock and eddie murphy with with bill murray
and i think we've given everybody the pep talk
and he leans over and gives you a little rub a little lucky rub on the head
and you've got that you've got the fro
all yet very strange.
Very strange to see.
And I remember that's the one like Paul Schaefer has said to me several times, you know, you
know, Harry Sheeran, Harry Sheeran hates you.
He just telling he hates you and it's cause on the show in that bit
He yeah, it's supposed to be bill Murray's giving us a pep talk and firstly says introduce yourselves
So like Charlie rocket comes on says well, I'm Charlie rocket
I'm kind of like Chevy chase and
Joe Piscopo says I'm Joe Piscopo. I'm kind of like Chevy Chase and Joe Piscopo says I'm Joe Piscopo I'm
kind of like Dan Aykroyd and and I said I'm Gilbert Godfrey I'm kind of a
mixture of John Belushi and that other guy who used to do imitations who nobody remembers.
And Harry Shearer identified himself.
But Michael McKean said if Harry Shearer hates you, you're in very, very good company.
And not exclusive company either.

the strength of the flamina
and he got up and walked out which surprises me into a snow ball one he
could get out
and to a good still walk

where i'm happy to be in show business

Yes, I am in the back.
What's your question, Michael? Well, it's more of an apology.

That's okay. I also wrote a glowing review of the podcast for the Church of Satan.
I'm sorry, you wrote a review of the podcast for the Church of Satan?
Yeah. And it was on Facebook and apparently I forgot to mention you, Mr. Santo Plaza.

gorilla and you were trapped in an elevator.
I don't know where I had it.

Yeah, years ago I was at a party and Jackie Onassis was there and I figured I wanted to
play a little party game to help break the ice.

Me, Monsters. Yeah.
Oh, that's a tough one.
Yeah, I never got into the Adams family. I don't know why.
I mean, I was always aware that John Ashton was just doing a Groucho imitation.
I never thought of that.
He was always like, oh, Morticia.
Yeah, and I like the Munsters.
I always thought Alan Alder was doing a Groucho impersonation on Mesh.
Yeah, a lot.
Or an homage.
That's a tough call mike and request

if you like Gilbert's her Herbie Villachas impression
may I direct you to the Mario Cantone episode where
Mario we did when Harry met Sally dialogue with Mario as Carol Channing
and Gilbert as Herbie Villachas it's a can't miss met sally dialogue with mario as carol channing and i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i
and as far as the adams family's concerned i like the adams family theme
a lot better
dick mizzi
but they're both great
and my man
in my opinion but we love al luis
uh... yeah we're just
nobody like them
i i remember i
when i would go to these al goldstein branches
and they would have this
strangers i mean i don't associate the word brunch following the word al
anybody else
for me
to be disgusted by the people i was sitting
uh... i'd say it says a lot and but i remember a couple of times i would be sitting next to al lewis
you know grandpa monster and and he was
uh... he was a character and i have that type
much taller than you'd think all very tall
very tall guy
and um...
he for some reason he accepted like
all western style with the ball of time and then the cowboy and i was and like
the snap
clothes shirts and he would have that smelly cigar and yeah
i only met him once when he had the italian restaurant bleaker street
grandpa and i was in film school and i had a screenplay sitting on the table.
He walked over with a stogie in his mouth and he said, is that a script?
I said, yeah.
And he picked it up and he went like this.
Overwritten.
That's great.
That's my Al Lewis story.
Should we go back to the phones quickly?
Robert in New Jersey, are you with us?
Yes, I am.

through review was just happy to look happy to listen to the ship

do you have any memory of working with ray sharky winning hosted sardine live
racial and yes i really i remember ray sharky from wise got a show wise guy with
ken wall and
the idol maker
in a short career
uh... race sharky yeah he was
he was starting to get big he was going to be
then next
uh... big guy and uh...
i know i remember they did i a takeoff
on the idle maker

will probably be can i sing that theme
uh... probably was that a question right
that would be a kill her thing at all from the i don't make okay uh... was that a question that we did
can kill her thing at all from the idyllic
okay
let me see if i remember just the first words of that
yes or should not
peter gallagher saying this

together tell me why did someone break your heart?
There's about 40 people in this room. Beautiful.
The only person in the room with her fingers in her ears is your wife.

i saw him at a party
and i started seeking that
and he's saying a lot with the you've read
red dot repeated our leader gallagher yes yes we should ask him see if he
remembers that you know i have a story here to that i want you to tell quickly

Do we have Bobby Slayton?
Do we have Will on the line?
Will is with us.
Hello?
Will, let it rip.
We're running out of time.
Okay, I wanted to ask about Gilbert opening for Belinda Carlisle in the 80s.
I heard there was some of a transcript for it. Yeah that was one where I was going to open for Belinda
Carlisle I think it was in Long Beach and the her manager said to me ahead of
time like keep it clean which and I'm the person to hire, if you want to hold some family fun.
Keep it clean because there's a lot of little girls and their mothers in the audience.
And I tried for about a good five or six minutes to work clean and was bombing horribly.
And then I basically went into every
conch out
i could think of
yeah
the record
that's that that's the one carlisle story yes
yeah and and they called me up
that night my agent called up
and gave me dot clarence sickle line
well i i'd just want to know everyone on the tour loves you.
That's like showbiz for you've been fired.
Once they've gone, it's like a girl telling you,
I think you're a really great guy.
You know, that's when you know you're not getting laid.
Speaking of being fired, do you want to quickly tell the story
about how you knew you were a goner at SNL? This was great. Joe knows this one.
I was, it's like they had already fired Gene Damanian, who was the producer, and Dick
Ebersole came in and he said, I'm going to be making a few changes here and there I want all
of you to take a couple of days off come back and I'll tell you what changes
will make and then each one one by one was waiting outside Dick Ebersole's
dress at his office and while I was waiting there was a table where they
used to keep the fan letters they would just dumped in there and I picked up a fan letter from a girl from like Idaho
or something and I open it up and it says dear Gilbert I'm so sorry about
what happened
I love that one we haveul in new jersey our last caller
