And today (Wednesday), Stu will be talking with another friend of mine…and I frankly don't know where he's going to start with Carl Gottlieb. He could talk about Carl's early days as one of the important guys in the field of improv comedy. He could talk about Carl's days writing for the Smothers Brothers on the show that got them bounced off CBS. Then Carl worked on a long list of other shows and segued into movies as both an actor and a writer. He was an actor in the original film of M*A*S*H. He was an actor and a screenwriter in Jaws and The Jerk and many other hit movies. He directed a couple of movies (like Caveman) and he wrote books including co-authoring David Crosby's autobiography. He's been an important figure and elected officer in the Writers Guild through about the last nineteen strikes. There's not very much in show business this guy hasn't done…so good luck, Stu. You have much ground to cover.
Stu's Show can be heard live (almost) every Wednesday at the Stu's Show website and you can listen for free there. Webcasts start at 4 PM Pacific Time, 7 PM Eastern and other times in other climes. They run a minimum of two hours and sometimes go into serious overtime. Shortly after a show ends, it's available for downloading from the Archives on that site. Downloads are a bargain at 99 cents each and you can get four for the price of three. And by the way, there are no additional discounts for the episodes that contain me…so don't ask.
