Dean & Jerry & Tony & Jeff: This Week on TV CONFIDENTIAL
Hop aboard the Wayback Machine as we pay homage to Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, The Colgate Comedy Hour and other TV icons this week in a special pre-recorded edition of TV CONFIDENTIAL, Tuesday, Jan. 27 beginning at 10pm ET, 7pm PT on Share-a-Vision Radio, KSAV.org.
Tony Figueroa joins Frankie Montiforte and me in our first hour as we remember Patrick McGoohan (Danger Man, The Prisoner), Ricardo Montalban (Fantasy Island) and the marks they left in film and television, on and off the screen. Tony also introduces a new segment he'll be doing for our program ("This Week in Television History"), as well as leads us in an interesting discussion on the long-running series M*A*S*H. Then Jeff Brodrick joins us in our second hour as we look back at one of television's first comedy-variety series, The Colgate Comedy Hour. We talk about the many great comedians who hosted the show (including Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis), how it launched the careers of such future TV producers as Norman Lear and Danny Arnold, its influence on such shows as The Carol Burnett Show and Saturday Night Live, and a whole lot more.
Though this week's program has already been recorded, that does not mean you cannot still participate. If you have questions or comments about any of our topics, we invite you to email us at talk@tvconfidential.net (or leave a message for us on our toll-free listener line, (800) 407-KSAV), and we'll read your comments on our Feb. 10 broadcast... which, to quote the '70s bandLakeside , will be all the way live!
