Podcasts about Henny Youngman

Meet Louie Anderson, who started off writing punchlines for Henny Youngman, the King of one-liners, and ends with an Emmy-winning career that spanned television, movie roles, and best selling books. Louie had a self-deprecating style that endeared him to audiences and he was fearlessly honest about the myriad childhood issues that informed his comedy. When he passed in 2022 tributes from fellow comics were voluminous, including Dennis Miller who once said that Louie was "one of lightest on his feet comedians I know. There are very few guys I'm going to leave my dressing room early to watch." As always find extended clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Louie? Louie got a big break when he killed in his first Tonight Show appearance back in 1984. https://youtu.be/2bRe1CeGe7g?si=Ea1HfaQ-1ll9ks8l Louie scored a short but important "cult classic" role as Maurice, a fast food jockey who dreams of bigger things. https://youtu.be/CEnp84dgNfs?si=FoWxrUci8UIwV0Dh Louie conquered many forms of filmed entertainment -- including the animated kind -- with Life with Louie which explored childhood issues with a big dose of humor. https://youtu.be/4IseTA__0lY?si=1TF5cJYUduMLD6de Louie had a late career triumph in Baskets, a hit FX show that featured Louie -- in drag -- as mother to twin brother played by Zach Galifinakis. He won an Emmy for the portrayal and it's well-deserved -- Louie is great! https://youtu.be/ap4iSflYAhg?si=J7DS0EQ6AYvX1Xkm

A VERY special episode as we are joined by TV writer, comedian, and Council member Mike Rowe to premiere a previously unheard 1967 interview with Groucho, conducted by the infamous film collector and distributor, Raymond Rohauer.

We learn which film Groucho thinks is their worst, and what later-effort gets a surprisingly glowing reaction from him. Mike tells of his introduction to the Marx films and his start in the world of comedy, including working with Henny Youngman and Rodney Dangerfield. We get the creation story of his ‘lost' Marx Brothers film "Donkey Shines,” and Mike details meeting the enigmatic Rohauer, who entrusted him with the tape of his Groucho interview.

This is another very busy horse racing podcast. We've got a couple of Stakes races from Woodbine and 4 SBOA Finals from Mohawk. Irwin Driedger passed away on the weekend and we remember him. There was a slight upset in the Preakness at Pimlico, so once again, there will not be a Triple Crown winner. Mighty Heart, who won the 2020 Queen's Plate, has been retired and author Jennifer Morrison tells us how life-changing this one-eyed wonder was to her and all the people involved in his racing career. We have 2 Morrisons in this podcast – Moncton's Ailsa Morrison won again at Gulfstream. The terrific Modern Games won a Group l race in England, but not before a rival tried to rip his face off. Ever seen a husband-wife team take down the daily double? It happened at Louisiana Downs. And sit back and laugh at horse racing jokes from the King of the One-Liners, Henny Youngman.

He's been a full time musician for over 3 decades. Charlie is a natural entertainer and a virtual encyclopedia of classic American music styles.He has toured with his blues band, The Upsetters, garnering national and international acclaim and airplay. He often performs as a duo with his wife Beth at charity fundraisers and church concerts. Since the COVID restrictions have eased, Charlie is out playing in clubs and entertaining the residents of area assisted living and nursing homes. His upcoming CD, Three Chords And The Truth will be released in Spring 2023 http://lightnincharlie.com John Maolucci comes from a family of musicians. His mother was a vaudevillian childhood prodigy singer/accordionist. She appeared with many of the great celebrities of that time, including tap dancer Bill Robinson, The Three Stooges, Dick Powell, Red Skelton, Henny Youngman, Jan Pierce and Ethel Merman. Her performance name was "Baby Rosemarie," but because it conflicted with the other child actress and singer, popularly known as: "Rose Marie," ( of sitcom and "Hollywood Squares" fame) it was changed to: "Baby Rosamond." John's dad was also a musician. He met John's mom as her accordion student! Although his formal profession was as owner of a construction company, he also performed in clubs, singing and playing the accordion, as a member of his friend's country and western group: "Shorty Cross and The Arizona Riders.” With this musical inheritance, John became interested in studying voice in college and upon audition, received a scholarship from the now defunct Upsala College of East Orange NJ. Through a cousin, John was introduced to one of the finest vocal teachers in the world, Stephanie Scourby. Ms. Scourby was deemed the "Underground Teacher for The Juilliard School of Music," by her students.

DATA'S DAD LIVES and that causes a whole lot of problems for our favorite android and the Enterprise. Joining us this week is special guest Craig Calcaterra, a sportswriter who writes at Cup of Coffee, one of the top newsletters on Substack. He also has a brother and a dad, but his love of Star Trek goes beyond family ties -- his love life was at one time centered around the outcome of "The Best of Both Worlds." This episode continues our look at key episodes that might factor into the events of Star Trek: Picard - Season Three, specifically, how Lore figures into the 10-episode season. Does his surprise appearance in this episode hold any special meaning? Do Craig and Bryan think "Brothers" warrants a Trek, Marry, or Kill, and did they wind up brainstorming a solid episode had the original version of the episode -- no Lore -- been the one that got made?

The third in our series of podcasts on famous sayings we think are true but are not: “All I want is for my children to be happy.” Episode NotesThe first reason this saying is wrong is that as it turns out that being happy is less like something you can achieve and more like something you already have by virtue of your innate personality. Wishing that your children should be happy is sort of like wishing that they be tall or beautiful or good in math. They either are or they aren't and sadly there is not much you or they can do about it. Psychologists and social scientists who have researched this topic of human happiness are univocal in their conclusions that happiness is much more like an attribute than an acquisition. We know this to be true by seeing two children from the same loving family with radically different happiness set points. Environment matters but not that much. The psychologist and researcher Alex Michalos succinctly put it, “When it comes to subjective well-being, you don't get a big bang out of the real world.” The amazing discovery from those who investigate happiness is that the things we think matter most in making us happy actually matter least, and the things we think matter least actually matter most: Beautiful people are not happier than not-so-beautiful people. Young people are not happier than old people. Smart people are not happier than intellectually challenged people. Educated people are not happier than uneducated people. So if the things we think will make us happy really don't, what does? It turns out that simple things, prosaic things make us happy. Bread makes us happy. I tell a story about how Bill Paley who ran CBS began every dinner by slowly caressing and eating a roll. He did it because he believed that if he could be thankful for bread, he could more easily remember to be thankful for all his many other blessings of wealth.A good sense of humor makes us happy. Friends obviously make us happy. Volunteering makes us happy, and community makes us happy. There is, of course the cynics who like Spike Mulligan taught in his Las Vegas lounge act, “Money can't buy you happiness, but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.” Henny Youngman said, “What's the use of happiness? It can't buy you money.”I tell the story of an American investment banker trying to convince a South American fisherman that he should go public as an example of the joy of a simple life. The rabbis teach, “Who is rich? The one who is happy with his lot.” I tell the story of an executive vice president of IBM whom I heard speak at his retirement luncheon and there, in front of all the young, eager, and ambitious gaggle of vice presidents he said this, “I know that every one of you in this room want my job and I am going to tell you how you can get it. When my daughter was married I walked her down the aisle. At that moment of my daughter's life I realized that I did not know her favorite color, or the last book she read, or the name of her best friend. I realized that I knew nothing about my daughter. That is the price I paid to get the things I thought would make me happy. So, if you are willing to pay that price, you can have my damn job.” The rabbis teach, “Who is rich? The one who is happy with his lot.” That is the truth. Tommy got Mother Teresa's business card. On it there was no phone number and no address. It just had her name and these words, “Happiness is the natural fruit of duty.”
