Kliph Nesteroff scores again, this time with a good interview with comedy legend Bill Dana. In the conversation, Bill spends a lot of time taking credit for the careers of others and the creation of much fine material. As far as I can tell, he's right. He especially made his friend Don Adams into a popular and successful comedian…not that Adams' own talents didn't play a major role in that. I suspect Jose Jiminez made Bill most of his fortune but the character also made people think of Bill just as a performer and to overlook his fine work as a writer and producer. He's one of the good guys and I'm sorry he's not more active today in the TV business.
