We sincerely recommend you tune in Stu's Show today. Stu Shostak will be interviewing Hank Garrett — a funny, delightful man who has done enough in show business to fill several Stu's Shows. He was, for example, a star in the professional wrestling game, back when pro wrestling was more than just The Jerry Springer Show with less violence. Hank could easily fill the two hours just with tales of his exploits in the ring, wrassling with the greats.
But then Hank changed careers. That photo of him above left does not mean he became a policeman. He became an actor, joining the cast of one of the all-time great sitcoms, Car 54, Where Are You? The show starred Fred Gwynne and Joe E. Ross, and I think Hank may be the last surviving member of the regular cast. He has wonderful stories about that show (and about Joe E. Ross, in particular) and could spend the whole two hours with them.
However, it would be a shame to just do that and not have him talk about his other acting jobs…like his roles in Death Wish, Harry & Tonto, Serpico, Johnny Dangerously and dozens of others…his critically-acclaimed role in Three Days of the Condor…heck, this guy was even in The Producers. He's been in a hundred-plus TV programs and supplied voices for cartoon shows like G.I. Joe and Garfield. He was a stand-up comedian. He's worked with everyone from Sophia Loren to O.J. Simpson. He's…
Okay, okay. You get the idea. The guy's done everything and he'll be talking about it on Stu's Show today. On the West Coast, it's from 4 PM 'til 6 PM. On the East Coast, it's 7 PM until 9 PM. In other climes, you should be able to figure out when to tune in…and you tune in by browsing your way over to Shokus Internet Radio. Click where they tell you to click and you'll be listening in as Stu interviews one of my favorite people. Don't miss this one.
