There was a Hollywood Collectors Show out in Burbank last weekend. I usually go and wanted to attend this one, as three of the four "Sweathogs" I worked with on Welcome Back, Kotter were present. Alas, I was too busy so I got no closer than watching this short video report from the Slate folks.
Only a few folks are interviewed in this, one of whom is Lou Ferrigno. Mr. Ferrigno seems to be at every autograph show and convention in America. If you see him at one, stop at his table, say hello, and buy the little book he wrote about his days playing The Incredible Hulk. It's a good book and he's a nice man, who patiently endures being asked over and over and over what it was like to be painted green every day. It amuses me that most of the conventions he attends put his table up front on the apparent assumption that it might be nice to have the muscle guy nearby if there's trouble.
Here's the video…and by the way, I don't think that's Jay Leno in the background when they're interviewing the daughter of Mickey Dolenz. But it sure looks like him, doesn't it?
