I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I usually plug what's coming up on Stu's Show, my pal Stu Shostak's program on my pal Stu Shostak's radio station. I got busy and wasn't able to tell you about yesterday's show, which featured two of my favorite folks, Charlie Brill and Mitzi McCall.
Charlie and Mitzi are famously remembered as the comedy team that had to hold the stage before an audience full of screaming Beatles fans on the night the singing moptops made their historic debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. But more than that, they've been popular entertainers for close to fifty years, working not just as a comedy team but individually and collectively as actors, writers, voiceover artists, game show panelists and radio personalities.
They met around '59 in a comedy workshop class that Jerry Lewis was running. They went on to work with everyone in their field. You think I've got a lot of show biz anecdotes? Hang around Charlie and Mitzi for an evening. Whenever I have, I always laugh myself sick and learn even more about all they've done.
It was a great show today. They were joined by their pal, actor Jack Riley, and they told wonderful tales…so I'm sorry I didn't promote it here. Fortunately for you though, the show reruns all week — at 7 PM Eastern, 4 PM Pacific time…and you can figure out the time for your part of the world from that. Tune in and listen, which you can do by going to the website of Shokus Internet Radio and clicking on the player there. You have six more chances to do this.
