Sometimes comics start down unusual career paths (at least for a comic). How about accountancy? Bob Newhart famously plied that trade early in life. And today's Legend -- Ray Romano -- figured out his comedy path after studying accountancy in college. We suspect that Ray can hire out for an accountant these days after a career that includes a wildly successful sitcom, juicy voice acting roles, frequent guest spots on television (sometimes in dramatic roles), and a little professional poker tossed in the mix. Ray's family friendly brand of humor has gone down well with audiences since he first emerged in the late 1980s. Everybody Loves Raymond debuted in 1996 and launched him to the next level, along with wining him three Emmy awards over nine seasons. Most recently Ray has started taking dramatic roles as in Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman" and he continues to be a popular draw on the standup stage. As always find extended cuts below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Ray? The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson was legendary for the comics it featured early in their careers. Here's Ray from his first Tonight Show appearance in 1991. https://youtu.be/1VcdnqH0PJc?si=wuX4NQ1GyzRopK6h Everybody Loves Raymond was a smash focusing on the day-to-day live of a large Italian family. Here are some highlights. https://youtu.be/r6uuxO-sHT0?si=JuYxQDhW_M-kP5FD Ray is a key part of the Ice Age animated movie franchise playing Manny the Wooly Mammoth with just the right amount of sarcasm and grumpiness! https://youtu.be/mVkDXaeqkHA?si=4_YmPEmIuJ_3M1Hg

Nick takes a deep dive into one of the most chaotic and heavily criticized seasons in Saturday Night Live history: Season 20, also known as The Bad Boys Club Season. Following the departure of core cast members like Phil Hartman, Rob Schneider, and Julia Sweeney, the show found itself leaning hard into the rowdy, often crude humor of Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, and David Spade—while sidelining much of the female cast, including Janine Garofalo, who left midway through the season. The cast was bloated, the writing uneven, and the press relentless. Nick walks through the entire season with behind-the-scenes stories, including how Jeff Daniels nearly suffered a serious makeup mishap, why Dan Aykroyd unofficially hosted instead of the listed John Goodman, and how the writers struggled with brilliant hosts like Bob Newhart, John Turturro, David Hyde Pierce, and Courtney Cox—while completely losing control during hosting gigs by George Foreman and Deion Sanders. Despite its rough reputation, the season had its moments: Norm Macdonald took over the Weekend Update desk, Molly Shannon made a strong debut halfway through, and both Damon Wayans and Dana Carvey returned to deliver some much-needed highlights. You'll also hear Stuart Smalley hilariously scolding the public for ignoring his movie, and Bill Murray delivering a moving tribute to the late Michael O'Donoghue. It's a full look at one of SNL's messiest, most fascinating seasons—flawed, but unforgettable. [Ep 122]

Michael Seth Starr is the author of Nothin' Comes Easy: The Life of Rodney DangerfieldMichael shares:-Different generations know Rodney for different things: Carson, Caddyshack, Back to School-Rodney quit comedy to sell aluminum siding  -How he got the name Rodney Dangerfield -Where did "I get no respect" come from "It was the era of the Godfather.  Rodney was working in a club, you heard some mobster-type people talking about getting no respect. He latched on to the "no respect" which is such a universal feeling, because everybody feels that way"-When he did Caddyshack he was almost 60!  "The role of Al Czervik (Caddyshack role) was offered to Bob Newhart, who didn't think it was funny! And Don Rickles who didn't want to do it, it wasn't his thing!""-'Back to School' with Sam and helping Jim Carrey   To subscribe to The Pete McMurray Show Podcast just click here

In this week's tribute episode, Janet, John, (and Pen) discuss the life and career of a wonderful American comedian and actor who came to prominence in 1960 and is known for his deadpan delivery style... Bob Newhart. Starting out by engaging in humorous telephone conversations with a friend in which he improvised characters to alleviate boredom at his office job, the actor would go on to receive three Grammys, an Emmy, and a Golden Globe Award. After catching attention from a local DJ he began his career as a stand-up comedian, and transitioned to working in television in the series Newhart after his album of comedic monologues became a bestseller. Known for films like  Hell Is for Heroes (1962), Hot Millions (1968), Catch-22 (1970), Cold Turkey (1971), The Rescuers (1977), In & Out (1997), First Family (1980), Elf (2003), and more.

J.B. and Eddie take on The Rescuers (1977), Disney's thrilling animated adventure about two heroic mice on a mission to save a kidnapped girl. They dive into the film's surprisingly dark themes, its impact on Disney's animation legacy, and why it became one of the studio's biggest hits of the decade. Plus, they discuss Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor's legendary performances, the film's abandoned 101 Dalmatians connection, and the surprising history behind The Rescuers Down Under. Stick around for Disney news, including a major Captain America: Brave New World breakdown, Andor Season 2 trailer reactions, and the bombshell report that Kathleen Kennedy is out at Lucasfilm.Timestamps00:00 – Intro and nostalgic childhood memories of The Rescuers04:00 – The film's original connection to 101 Dalmatians10:00 – Why The Rescuers was Disney's biggest animated hit since The Jungle Book14:45 – Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor's perfect voice-acting chemistry19:30 – Disney Parks discussion: Why The Rescuers has no representation24:00 – Disney's first animated sequel: The Rescuers Down Under connection29:00 – Captain America: Brave New World review and reactions48:00 – Disney admits its parks are too expensive, shifting focus to business outcomes53:00 – Andor Season 2 trailer reaction57:45 – Kathleen Kennedy out at Lucasfilm

We'll be back with a brand new edition of TV Confidential later this week. In the meantime, please enjoy this clip from February 2015 in which Tony, Donna, and Ed remember some of the early TV roles of Howard Hessman, before he became known as Dr. Johnny Fever on WKRP in Cincinnati, as part of This Week in TV History. Howard Hesseman was born on this day in 1940. 

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jessica Pettitt, author of Good Enough Now: How Doing the Best We Can with What We Have Is Better than Nothing. Jessica highlights the importance of accepting yourself  and finding balance between imperfections and growth. Our conversation delves into how releasing the pressure to be perfect can reduce stress and open the door to meaningful progress. This episode is a powerful reminder that progress often begins when we allow ourselves to simply do our best, even if it's not perfect. Perhaps it's her Texas roots, but Jess Pettitt, MBA, M.Ed., CSP, believes that to really thrive in this world, you have to ride two horses—one of giving and one of receiving. For Jess, the giving horse is her passion for service, and the receiving horse is the high she rides entertaining audiences. For almost 10 years, Jess rode one horse by day, serving as an administrator in student affairs for university Diversity and Inclusion programs, and the other by night, performing and hosting three times a week doing stand-up in New York City's most popular comedy clubs (ask her about George Carlin's nickname for her or sharing an eggroll birthday cake with Bob Newhart). Eventually, Jess discovered she could ride both horses at the same time in the same career, and a speaker in the DEI space was born. Now, nearly 20 years and half a million audience members later, Jess gallops from coast to coast delivering her “Good Enough Now” message to anyone willing to take the leap toward creating a much more inclusive (read: much more effective) organization. If you'd like to discuss bringing in one of the funniest speakers you'll ever hear to deliver actionable content on everything you've ever wanted to know about Leadership and Diversity but were afraid to ask, reach out to Jess today.

From the highbrow to the lowbrow, it's a veritable brow rollercoaster on this week's podcast. First, we go high. Neal Pollack welcomes in Stephen Garrett to discuss Brady Corbet's 'The Brutalist,' the most fun you'll have at a three-and-a-half hour movie about architecture and Holocaust trauma this year. Neither Neal nor Stephen have a cross word about this thoroughgoing work of art, starring, according to Nikki Glazer, "two-time Holocaust survivor" Adrien Brody and Guy Pearce, giving a signature performance as a weird Pennsylvania industrialist. Neal also points out that, in this era of heightened antisemitism, it's nice to see a movie that pays respect to the trauma of Holocaust victims and that treats the founding of the state of Israel as something that was politically good and necessary. It's a great film, with great music, and it includes a 15-minute intermission!Now our brows dip low as Neal welcomes Paula Shaffer to discuss the recent crossover episode between 'Abbott Elementary' and "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia,' which surprisingly go together as well as chocolate and peanut butter. Paula and Neal then go down the rabbit hole of TV crossover history. She introduces him to Poobala.com, the rabbit hole of rabbit holes. Did you know that Mr. Carlin from 'The Bob Newhart Show' was also a patient on 'St. Elsewhere?' That's correct. And since St. Elsewhere, we later learned, existed only in the imagination of an autistic middle schooler, that means that The Bob Newhart Show, along with Cheers, Frasier, and hundreds of other shows, also only existed in his imagination. To further tangle the web, it was later revealed that 'Newhart' was just a dream that existed in the world of The Bob Newhart Show. So was Newhart also in Tommy Westphall's imagination? Or was St. Elsewhere part of Bob Newhart's dream life? Are we nothing but a dream ourselves?These are the kinds of questions we try to answer on Book and Film Globe. Enjoy the show!

Today on another encore edition of The Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Eric Bonerz, son of actor and director Peter Bonerz. Host Josh Mills goes way back with Eric, who, while slightly older, attended the same Oakwood School that has become somewhat synonymous with this podcast. Like Josh, Oakwood was a Petri dish of children of celebrities and it's partially the impetus for this podcast. Our conversation with Eric was full of humor, pop culture references, lost LA lore and bizarre interactions with the film, TV, music and the world of animation if you can believe it. Eric recounts his father's career as a comedic actor coming up in theater in San Francisco in the 60s and takes us on a journey through television in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Best known to fans as Jerry the Dentist on The Bob Newhart Show, Peter Bonerz moved behind the camera and became an in-demand television director with more than 350 credits to his name. So while we discuss shows like Wings and Murphy Brown, we also hear about Eric's time on the set of the film Catch-22 as well as an evening spent in the Manson house with Nine Inch Nail's Trent Reznor. Whoa. Somehow on this episode we discuss AMC Jeeps, the Beastie Boys, the band Primus, actor Chuck McCann, actor Keir Dullea, the Jerry Lewis film, The Day The Clown Cried and much more. Eric is a touchstone to so many things, it just feels like he's in the DNA of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Listen and find out for yourself, right now.

A slew of famous celebrities bit the dust in 2024, including Toby Keith, Willie Mays, Jerry West, Bob Newhart, James Earl Jones, Pete Rose, Quincy Jones, Jimmy Carter, and...you guessed it...OJ Simpson.

UIC Adjunct Lecturer and historian Wally Podrazik joins WGN Radio's Dave Plier and Dave Schwan to look back at the notable figures we lost in 2024.

In this festive episode of Eternal Durdles, hosts Zac and Phil are joined by  @MTGRemy  as they dive into their favorite holiday traditions, mall food, and Christmas specials. They share personal anecdotes about their go-to mall snacks, discåçuss their top Christmas movies and specials, and reflect on the cheesy holiday films that have become nostalgic favorites. The conversation flows seamlessly from food to film, highlighting the joy and humor of the holiday season. In this lively conversation, the hosts delve into various themes surrounding holiday traditions, classic Holiday movies, and nostalgic winter themed Magic cards. They engage in a humorous debate about a scene from Elf featuring Will Ferrell, discuss the impact of Elf as a modern Christmas classic, and share their top picks for non-holiday Magic cards that evoke holiday spirit.

Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we speak to guest Kelly Conway daughter of comedy legend Tim Conway. This episode is equal parts fun and funny as well as difficult and heavy as Kelly tells us about the wonderful early years with her father as well as the end-of-life care battle that she had to endure in his later years. It's the stuff you won't soon forget. We discuss her father's career in comedy, beginning in Cleveland with comedian/voice over actor (and sometimes television horror show host) Ernie Anderson. Moreover, we were blown away to learn that Tim Conway was nominated for a whopping 13 Emmy awards. But through it all, Tim Conway was a fantastic father who made family life a priority with silliness and games and is the focus of Conway's biography, My Dad is Funnier Than Your Dad. We discuss her father's connections to Carol Burnett, Steve and Eydie, Bob Newhart, Mike Connors, which were both personal as well as professional. Kelly also doesn't shy away from the dark chapter in the Conway story as the elder Conway became less able to take care of himself. We hear stories about how he was cared for by his second wife and her daughter that is one of the most difficult interviews we have ever done. Somehow Kelly is able to guide us on a journey that had us laughing one minute and on the verge of tears the next. Through it all, Kelly is warm, self-effacing and brutally honest about her father, whom she loved dearly. Take a listen to this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast and keep the Kleenex handy.

Perhaps it's her Texas roots, but Jess Pettitt, MBA, M.Ed., CSP, believes that to really thrive in this world, you have to ride two horses—one of giving and one of receiving. For Jess, the giving horse is her passion for service, and the receiving horse is the high she rides entertaining audiences. For almost 10 years, Jess rode one horse by day, serving as an administrator in student affairs for university Diversity and Inclusion programs, and the other by night, performing and hosting three times a week doing stand-up in New York City's most popular comedy clubs (ask her about George Carlin's nickname for her or sharing an eggroll birthday cake with Bob Newhart). Eventually, Jess discovered she could ride both horses at the same time in the same career, and a speaker in the DEI space was born. Now, nearly 20 years and half a million audience members later, Jess gallops from coast to coast delivering her “Good Enough Now” message to anyone willing to take the leap toward creating a much more inclusive (read: much more effective) organization.   Jess talks about her latest book, “Almost Good Enough”, implementing DEI in an organization, elements of culture change, and much more!
