Stu Shostak has a great guest this week on Stu's Show. It's Howard Storm, who's had one of the most amazing careers in show business as an actor, a writer, a stand-up comedian and most recently, a director. Anyone who could direct Robin Williams on Mork & Mindy for several seasons has to be a helluva director and that's just one of Howard's many credits. He's directed at least fifty different situation comedies including Everybody Loves Raymond, Major Dad, Laverne & Shirley, Rhoda and Too Close for Comfort. His acting credits go back to The Untouchables and he was seen in a couple of Woody Allen movies. (He was Woody's assistant on several.) Frankly, I think Stu could fill the show with Howard's tales of working as a comedian in mob-controlled night clubs, not that he didn't also work the cleaner joints. He's one of the best storytellers and I know and there's no way Stu's getting even half this man's career into the show today.
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 to three or beyond. Shortly after a show ends, it's available for downloading from the Archives on that site. Downloads are a measly 99 cents each and you can get four for the price of three…and no, there's no extra discount for the ones that have me on them.
