Rob Long was 24 years old when he met James Burrows, one of the creators and executive producers of Cheers, where he had just been hired as a staff writer on a 10 week contract. It didn't take 10 weeks for him to realize just how brilliant Burrows was. The Will & Grace and Friends director knew how to tell if material worked even if it didn't do much at the runthrough. He knew when a line was funnier when they threw it away, and he knew when a scene needed to be tossed and re-written.

In memory of the great James Borrows we rebroadcasting this episode of "Dont Be Alone with Jay Kogen". We talk with James Burrows about his reign as Hollywood's greatest sitcom director, being the son of Abe Burrows, the genetics of comedy, his book "Directed by James Burrows", "Cheers", "Will & Grace", "The Mary Tyler Moore Show", "Taxi", "Friends", the scripts that make him want to direct, the ones that don't, his amazing memory, his humble beginnings, the decade it took him to learn how to direct, working with geniuses like James L. Brooks, Chuck Lorre, and Kohan & Mutchnick, and Andy Kaufman. And Jimmy explains how his two best friends are Al Michaels and Bruce Springsteen. BIO: James Burrows was one of television's most respected and honored creative talents. Over his distinguished career, Burrows was the recipient of eleven Emmys, five Directors Guild of America Awards, the 1996 American Comedy Awards' Creative Achievement Award, the Television Critics Association's Career Achievement Award, and in 2006 he was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' Hall of Fame and was honored by the US Comedy Arts Festival with their Career Tribute Award. He was the recipient of 22 nominations for the Directors Guild of America Award, thus bestowing him the honor of being the most nominated director in the history of television at the Guild. He was honored by the DGA with the Inaugural 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award in Television. In November of 2015 he directed his 1,000th episode, which was recognized by a TV Special on NBC in January of 2016. Burrows' success as the director of television pilots was legendary. He directed the first two episodes of the "Frasier" reboot's second season, and wrapped the pilot "Mid-Century Modern" for Fox, which went to series. In January of 2020, he received his fifth DGA Award for directing the Emmy Award-winning show "Live in Front of a Studio Audience #1: Norman Lear's All in the Family and The Jeffersons." He was also asked back to direct "Live in Front of a Studio Audience #3: Diff'rent Strokes and The Facts of Life" in December of 2021. In June of 2022, he published his autobiography, "Directed by James Burrows," which received considerable attention and praise from the industry. Burrows was probably best known as co-creator, executive producer and director of the critically acclaimed series "Cheers." The hit show, which aired for 11 seasons, is tied for the most nominated Comedy series in the Television Academy's history and is in third place for most Emmys received by a Comedy Series. Burrows also received numerous awards for his work on "Will & Grace," "Frasier," "Friends," "Wings," "Night Court," "Taxi," and "Dear John." For the first time in 25 years, he returned to the stage in the spring of 1998 to direct the highly acclaimed "The Man Who Came to Dinner" at the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago, starring John Mahoney. Burrows learned his trade from the very best, the legendary writer/director Abe Burrows, whose noted career included such classics as "Guys and Dolls," "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," and "Cactus Flower." Born in Los Angeles and raised in New York, Burrows graduated from Oberlin College and continued his education at Yale, where he earned a Master of Fine Arts degree. Burrows relocated to Hollywood to work as a dialogue coach for "O.K. Crackerby!," a short-lived television series starring Burl Ives. When the show ended, he returned to New York and initially worked as a stage manager before directing several off-Broadway shows, such as "The Castro Complex," and stock productions of "The Odd Couple" and "Never Too Late." In 1974, Burrows moved back to the West Coast when he was invited to visit MTM Productions in Los Angeles and offered a job directing an episode of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." Mr. Burrows and his wife, Debbie, resided in Los Angeles and between them they had four daughters. He passed away on June 19, 2026. He left an indelible mark on American television. He will be remembered and missed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's Friday night, and the vibes are... coconut vape and gray-beard existentialism. Daniel kicks things off by revealing that his barber thinks he looks like Eric Dane — who, as it turns out, just died. So that's where we're at. Adam's puffing on something tropical, Larry Vader has apparently built an entire software ecosystem with a coding agent, and Daniel is quietly thrilled that his entire after-show pipeline is now automated. The boys are back, and the show hasn't even started yet.Once things get rolling, Adam treats us to an epic Wendy's drive-thru saga that involves a ten-hour round trip, a permanently closed location, a drive-thru lane with curbs that trap you like a DMV waiting room, a five-to-ten-minute wait per car because they're gaming their own performance metrics, and — the cherry on top — the wrong burger. Meanwhile, Daniel spirals into a passionate defense of the Wendy's Super Bar and its dubious "7,000 combinations" claim. Then things get real: Anthropic's new Fable 5 model dropped and got yanked almost immediately after Amazon — yes, that Amazon, the one invested in Anthropic — flagged a so-called jailbreak to the government. Spotify has silently yanked five episodes over copyright claims on the birthday segment's music, and the boys brainstorm solutions ranging from moving birthdays to the after show, to three facts instead of songs, to Daniel's personal assistant Sebastian's inspired suggestion: just play the songs on a kazoo. Speaking of which, we hear voicemails from Phoenix Dave (reporting James Burrows' death) and Gary in Portland (celebrating his 79th birthday), Tony from Illinois sends Disney trivia PDFs, and Adam has FEELINGS about Big Fatty's passive-aggressive podcast-guilt-tripping of shows that have gone quiet. Oh, and there's a whole segment about Joe Batance sending the most incomprehensible text message in podcasting history — something about Bluetooth channels and a mixer, delivered via voice-to-text while driving, that no human could possibly decode.The news game delivers (Daniel aces it, natch), the bonus round from Michael's trivia brings the goods, and the show wraps with Adam and Daniel teasing a show idea that neither of them actually has.

The Mariners limp toward the halfway point battling injuries, an offense that continues to struggle against left-handed pitching, and lingering questions about the piggyback pitching experiment. Mitch, Joe, and Brady discuss Dom Canzone's emergence as an everyday player, Logan Gilbert's recent dominance, the club's ability to stay afloat despite mounting absences, and what lies ahead against Pittsburgh and Cleveland.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 3 (6.19) Conway kicks off the hour with the latest from Boyle Heights, where LAFD officials and Mayor Karen Bass held a press conference after the massive cold-storage warehouse fire reignited for a third time in just days. Officials warn residents to stay inside, keep pets indoors, wear masks if they have to go out, and use available shelter options if they want to leave the area. Former L.A. County Fire Captain Steve Kreeger joins the show to break down why this fire is so complicated. From solar panels on the roof and possible lithium-ion battery issues to petroleum products, black smoke, ammonia refrigeration systems, and frozen food inside the warehouse, this is not a normal industrial fire. The crew also explains why the Lineage Logistics warehouse is such a major part of the food supply chain, with refrigerated storage, blast freezing, and port-centered cold-chain logistics. But after days of fire, smoke advisories, and shelter-in-place orders, all that food is likely destroyed. Later, Conway gets into outrageous World Cup ticket prices, with quarterfinal seats starting around $3,700 and final tickets in New York reportedly hitting $10,000. The hour wraps with the news that legendary comedy director James Burrows, the mind behind classics like Cheers and Friends, has died at 85.

Rick and Jay talk about stupid mistakes, shoe money, James Burrows, Cheers, directing people, not getting the girl, and the moment you reveal your big secret and no one cares.Bio: Rick Beren grew up in the Sixties and Seventies in the very liberal Bay Area. Even then, he managed to push the boundaries of tolerance of his parents, teachers, and eventually, the law. Mostly minor indiscretions, and all (always) in the pursuit of fun, but it landed him in the Vacaville State prison for selling one quarter gram of cocaine. The quality was so poor, he should've been convicted of false advertising. Anyway, his girlfriend also was sent to State prison (unfortunately, not by his side) for women. She had sold the same undercover agent, some 200 amphetamine pills. They were in college at the time (1977) and spent about 5 months in jail. The story of Ricks book is told with humor, compassion and a what the fuck attitude of how could this little, entitled, Jew end up in prison with Charles Manson and his ilk? As I say, He was probably always headed in that direction. Speaking of direction. In less than five years after his release, he was the director's assistant on his favorite show, Cheers. Rick found his life calling and immersed himself in the bliss of being around these amazingly talented people. He worked his way up the ladder and became a director himself and on that very show!  He went on to direct many shows and worked in the industry for four decades. Along the way, he fell into an amazing relationship (with a girl who was not an ex-con) and they have two (so far not ex-con) daughters. Life turned out pretty fucking great. And the highlight of his life and career was being able to spend time with Jay ( the legend) Kogen in an intimate (edited) two hour conversation. Jay wants his time backing the form of a poker game where he can monetize his efforts.
