Host Jason Blitman talks to Charlotte McConaghy (Wild Dark Shore) about Charlotte's journey from writing fantasy epics to exploring real-world themes, environmentalism and human connection in her recent works, and the challenges and joys of depicting complex, authentic characters. Jason is then joined by Guest Gay Reader Bruce Vilanch who shares amusing anecdotes from his vast career in entertainment, including his experiences with celebrities and the most memorable—and infamous—projects he's worked on. Charlotte McConaghy is the author of the international bestseller MIGRATIONS, a TIME Magazine Best Book of the Year and the Amazon Best Fiction Book of the Year for 2020, which is being translated into over twenty-five languages and adapted for film, as well as the New York Times Bestseller ONCE THERE WERE WOLVES.

He has coauthored dozens of variety television shows and actually put words in the mouth of Cher. He's also a lyricist, scoring gold and platinum records for disco songs he wrote for Eartha Kitt and the Village People.

Bruce Vilanch has written monologues for Oscars hosts like Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg, Steve Martin, Ellen DeGeneres, David Letterman, and more. And in this episode, he not only shares some of his favorite jokes, but also reveals which of the many hosts he worked with over more than two decades gave him the most trouble. As the 97th annual Academy Awards approach this weekend, Vilanch walks through the highs and lows of his illustrious Oscars career, from nearly blowing it his first time out with the disastrous Rob Lowe and Snow White opening, through the game-changing Billy Crystal years, to the Anne Hathaway and James Franco-hosted year that marked the unfortunate end of his long run. Along the way, he also shares some shocking stories about Oscar presenters, including his jaw-dropping theory about the origins of that Richard Gere gerbil rumor—and reveals why he turned down the opportunity to write for the very first season of ‘Saturday Night Live.' And Vilanch, whose new book ‘It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time' chronicles his biggest failures as a writer, takes us inside the most infamous bomb of his career: ‘The Star Wars Holiday Special.' ‘It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time' on AmazonFollow Matt Wilstein on Bluesky @mattwilstein Follow The Last Laugh on Instagram @lastlaughpod and Threads @lastlaughpodHighlights from this episode and others at The Daily Beast Hosted on Acast.

"Bruce Vilanch, a storyteller without peer, has written a tell-all . . . on himself! And it's hilarious! He's finally coming clean and owning up to his part in creating some of the worst television of the twentieth century, and that's saying a lot. There's no one like him. As they've been saying since I discovered him as a cub reporter at the Chicago Tribune, when you're in a pinch . . . Get Bruce!" -BETTE MIDLER Bruce Vilanch is known as a go-to comedy writer for award shows, sitcoms, and top-heavy variety specials, but he has also been responsible for quite a few of the worst shows ever put on television-legendarily bad productions. Some of his work lives in infamy-The Star Wars Holiday Special, The Paul Lynde Halloween Special, Rob Lowe dancing with Snow White at the Oscars, and The Brady Bunch Variety Hour. How did these ever seem like a good idea? Well, everyone has screwed up a few times, or had their work screwed up by others. It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time is a lifetime reflection of what Vilanch has experienced, learned, forgotten, dismissed, and embraced in decades of working in show business, specifically the south forty acres known as comedy. It involves very famous people and people who were not very famous but should have been. And it explains to the person in the audience who says to himself, once he has gotten his jaw off the floor, "'How did this ever get made?"

On this day in 1978, CBS aired what they hoped would be an instant classic: a brand-new holiday special to be rewatched and beloved for years to come...set in a galaxy far, far away. The Star Wars Holiday Special. Today, on the 46th anniversary of it's airing and Life Day, we're revising the classic, and we've brought along the incredibly talented and lovely hosts of The Mixed Reviews, Gavin and Louie, to help us celebrate this incredibly camp, often absurd, and this surprisingly queer piece of art! (It involved Bruce Vilanch and Bob Mackie, I mean, hello?). We also discussed 2023's documentary and book of the same name A Disturbance in The Force: How and Why The Star Wars Holiday Special Happened.

Tread Perilously continues a witchy October with The Paul Lynde Halloween Special. When neighborhood kids harass Paul Lynde about his plans to celebrate Halloween, he flees to the home of his housekeeper's sister. But he soon learns both are witches with remarkable resemblances to Witchiepoo and The Wicked Witch of the West. As it turns out, they want him to be a spokesman for witches. In return, he'll get three wishes granted and a private concert from KISS. The latter aspect is not negotiable. What wishes will Paul get granted? Will KISS let Peter sing "Beth"? And will guest stars Billy Barty, Florence Henderson, and Betty White make a mark on the proceedings? Erik and Justin try to deal with a variety special making a stab at an ongoing narrative. They also conjure the Osmonds back into existence. The previous on-screen persona of Betty White is explored. Bruce Vilanch returns as Erik reads out a very long list of writers. The Pinky Tuscadero phenomenon gets explained ... including the unlikely connection to Suzi Quatro. The pair take a closer look at KISS and give "Beth" a review. Erik decries the industry for not giving Margaret Hamilton a true starring role and the long delayed Alien: Romulus chat finally occurs.
Ethan shared some amazing stories from his youth in Fairport, NY. We learned so much more about his high school band "Green Machine" and the band member who would get drunk and kick the lead singer. The boys start the search for the great Bruce Vilanch.
Martin Lewis is a multi-faceted player in the spheres of the arts and entertainment. With a fabled five-decade history working in music, comedy, film, stage, TV, radio & books. He has been a cultural alchemist with many of the leading musicians and comedic artists of the last half-century. Bruce Vilanch is iconic for, among other things, the best jokes at the Academy Awards. He has been writing for the star-studded event for over 25 years, and has been the head writer since 2000. Bruce is much more ingrained into our culture than a single award show, however-- he. has written jokes for Bette Midler, Elizabeth Taylor, Lily Tomlin, and even..The Brady Bunch. They each have been world-changing "influencers" decades before the concept of "influencers" was even a thing. Today they join us to talk about yet another cultural force, artist manager, Brian Epstein. It has been said of Epstein: "If there had been no Epstein, there would be no Beatles." Brian Epstein is the man responsible for taking the Beatles from unknowns to worldwide phenomena in just under 50 days. Martin led a 15-year campaign to induct Epstein into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Friday, August 23rd marks the exact 60th anniversary of the Beatles' landmark first appearance in Los Angeles in 1964. Their L.A. debut was a sold-out concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Celebrating that historic occasion Martin - considered one of the world's foremost Beatles scholars - will be debuting a special ‘TED-Talk' style illustrated presentation in L.A. - titled "The Greatest Beatles Story NEVER Told! The Untold Tale Of How The Beatles Beguiled America" The event will take place on the exact same date and time as the Beatles Hollywood Bowl concert in 1964 - at the historic building of the Philosophical Research Society in Los Feliz.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Marc Saltarelli, Filmmaker, “Studio One Forever” About Harvey's guests: Today's guest, Marc Saltarelli, is a multi-award-winning filmmaker whose narrative films and documentaries have made him one of the most respected and admired directors and producers in the film industry. His movies have collectively been screened in over 250 major film festivals around the world. Some of his most popular films are, “Where We Began”, which won the Planet Out Award for Best Short Film, “To Comfort You”, which won the Best Picture and Best Drama awards at the Beverly Hills Short Fest, “Pride”, which won awards at the Accolade Competition and the Long Island Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, “Remember to Breathe”, which earned 5 Best Picture nominations worldwide, and WON an award at the Long Island Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, “I Knew Andy Warhol”, which was the centerpiece of the Warhol exhibit at the Palm Springs Museum of Art, and won the award for Best Documentary at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival, and “Red Ribbons of Love”, which was named Best Documentary last year at the Toronto LGBTQ Film Festival. He's here to discuss his latest feature film, a fabulous documentary entitled, “Studio One Forever”, which tells the untold story of the most iconic gay disco in America, Studio One in Los Angeles. Studio One was much more than just a disco - it was a mecca for gay men looking for identity and a sense of community in a world that saw them as outcasts. Its adjoining nightclub, The Backlot, created the very first space where the gay community and members of the Hollywood elite socialized together. From 1974 to 1993, Studio One and The Backlot became the center of nightlife in West Hollywood, and an important staging ground for the rise of the gay rights movement and the fight against AIDS. Featuring appearances by Chita Rivera, Thelma Houston, Lance Bass, Bruce Vilanch, Melissa Rivers, Felipé Rose from the Village People and many others, this highly compelling and insightful movie takes the audience on a fascinating journey of the history of the gay community, through the lens of this groundbreaking disco. The movie just won the award for the Best LGBTQ film at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival. Our guest's life-long passion for filmmaking is deeply rooted in the belief that movies should not only entertain - they also have the power to effect positive change in the world.
