Murray Langston (The Unknown Comic) worked on The Sony & Cher Show, Laugh-in and some other shows, but was still broke, so he appeared on The Gong Show for some extra Money with a bag over his head so no one would know it was him- thus the Unknown Comic was born!

Amber Tozer has been my sidekick for most of my episodes. People love her and want to know more about her. Me too! First of all she has a book coming out in May! We want to develop our chemistry more. She's funny, smart, and insults me cruelly if I compliment her. Her niece Zoey calls in who does Bob Dylan singing You Are My Sunshine. I bring back Jeff Mandell to torment her. Here's a link to VERY early pre-order her book. http://www.amazon.com/Sober-Stick-Figure-Amber-Tozer/dp/0762459727/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1444931076&sr=8-1&keywords=amber+tozer You MUST follower her on Twitter- https://twitter.com/AmberTozer Hey, how about my book too?! http://www.amazon.com/Maybe-Well-Have-You-Back/dp/162914567X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1444931170&sr=1-1&keywords=fred+stoller

Jann Karam (Seinfeld, HBO's Young Comedian Special, Late Night With David Letterman, The Tonight Show, The Norm Show)did a joke on Letterman and was ostracized from her family for three years. We discuss if as writers, comedians, artists should we know do material that some family members may not like. There's fun backstage story about how she got on Letterman, how her material was selected, and the aftermath. Ben Solenberger returns and Jeff Mandell sort of almost pays attention.

Dennis Christopher was the charming star of the hit film, "Breaking Away" I love this guy! He has great stories about randomly meeting Fellini, and then working for him while on a trip to Europe, and being conned by Robert Redford, well, sort of. Quentin Tarantino was so enamored by his body of work, he sought him out and put him in Django Unchained. He's also been in Chariots of Fire, California Dreaming, Fade To Black, and so many other films. Also joining us is Gino who owes LA Speedweed. We talk about my new discovery of weed. Interesting stuff. And Sean Sweeney who REALLY knows movies stops by. And of course Amber Tozer.

Anna Maria Horsford is such a delight. She has amazing stories working with Meryl Streep, Lucille Ball, Jack Nicholson, and on so many films and TV shows. She should have her on talk show or podcast. She brought along Brent who is her accountant, computer guy, something. It's kind of demented how they met, and why she likes having him around. Anna has not had one drop of alcohol in her life, but after this podcast, she went straight to the liquor store. I apologize again to Amber Tozer for not officially introducing her. This is my book coming out in paperback this month. http://www.amazon.com/Maybe-Well-Have-You-Back/dp/162914567X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

William Katt (Carrie, The Greatest American Hero, Big Wednesday, First Love) grew up in a showbiz home. His mother was Della Street in Perry Mason. His father was Kit Carson.

Former child actors Madylin Sweeten and Ellen Latzen are so compelling describing how they got their big breaks, what it was like trying to be a normal kid, and what it's like trying to be a normal adult if there is such a thing. Madylin portrayed Allie, the daughter on Everybody Loves Raymond for 9 seasons. She has great stories what it was like being on that set, taking a break from the biz after it was over, and then trying to reinvent herself, and dealing with the nonsense of show business again while keeping her humanity. She talks candidly about losing her brother Sawyer in a tragic event this year. Ellen Latzen was Michael Douglass' daughter in Fatal Attraction, and then was on Broadway, and then portrayed Ruby Sue in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Family Ties. This was an amazing conversation. Add to the mix, another amazing lady, Amber Tozer!

Jim Turner is a journeyman character actor you've seen in scores of films and TV guest parts who has great stories about being picked by MTV to be their spokesperson, Randy of The Redwoods. He also has war stories about being replaced on his first big break, terrorizing a nervous guest star actor on Arliss, and great insight for any actor maneuvering in this crazy business. He boasts about being in Will Ferrell and Eddie Murphy's least successful movies. Also, learn though he is a great guy, why I have to leave any party he and Mark Fite are at. Also great inside showbiz scoop about what Tom key (Spongebob) demanded on his last contract negotiation. And Andy Paley joins us who did the theme song for my podcast, and has done the music for Spongebob, Handy Manny, Dick Tracy, and some famous song from Ren and Stimpy Ben Solenberger who sits in seemed to know.

Some notables that have hung out have been Quentin Tarentino, Paul Mazursky, Sharon Stone, so many others. Ronnie Schell is a regular at the table. He starred in the 60's hit Gomer Pyle, USMC as Duke Slater.

How Sam Kass landed a gig as a staff writer on Seinfeld was even more out of the blue than it was for me. He's a hysterical loose canon and has crazy stories about dealing with Larry and the other higher ups. We talk about what it was like to get a story approved, and what we did with our time till we could get a hold of Jerry or Larry to pitch it and other behind the scenes stuff. Sam wrote and directed the cult favorite film, The Search for One-Eyed Jimmy, and created the hit series Starving for Crackle. Sitting in is my buddy Charles Zucker, and Amber Tozer is the voice of reason.

Robert Forster (Jackie Brown, Alligator, The Descendants, Mulholland Drive, Breaking Bad, Heroes)has one of my favorite inspirational stories about never giving up. His story should be heard by any actor, writer, or anyone trying to be in the human race. Amazing stories about being a contract player, Tarentino, working with Brando, going into a slide and then getting it back in the late innings. I talk about him in my book, so if you need more Forster- http://www.amazon.com/Maybe-Well-Have-You-Back-ebook/dp/B00C4XQ7NU/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=8-1&qid=1437076228 Amber Tozer couldn't make it, but Ben Solenberger did a great job helping out asking some questions.

Mitzi Mccall & Charlie Brill have been a comedy team and couple for the last 55 years. They are infamous for having to go before and then follow The Beatles on their USA debut on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. As a kid I'd see them on some of my favorite game shows, Tattletales, Match Game, and so many sitcoms. They have stories about The Beatles, being in the Tribbles episode of Star Trek, and Silk Stallings among others. Though always working, they have amazing stories or being replaced on sets, working with Jerry Lewis, old Hollywood.
