Podcast appearances and mentions of Milton Berle

Before he was one of Broadway's youngest Tony nominees, the voice of Donatello, or a hot tot  recording artist, Barry Gordon was a door-to-door performing toddler, entertaining any neighbor who would answer.Barry joins Weezy and Lisa to reflect on an extraordinary career that began when, at age three, he entered The Ted Mack Amateur Hour and placed second with his heart wrenching interpretation of Johnny Ray's “Cry.”Barry shares the invaluable lessons he learned from his father, whose instinctive "method" approach to acting and song interpretation encouraged him to search for the deeper meaning inside every performance. He explains why he considered himself a character actor even as a child, and how that mindset eased his transition into adult roles. As a small boy, Barry shared the stage and held his own with Milton Berle, Jerry Lewis, Elvis Presley, Jack Benny, Danny Thomas and Perry Como. By thirteen, he was starring on Broadway in A Thousand Clouds with Jason Robards and Sandy Dennis. Barry admits that opening night was less terrifying than his Bar Mitzvah. In the film version of that role, Barry was pushing fourteen and to disguise his growth spurt, Jason Robards wore lifts. Barry's career included a record deal and the hit Christmas novelty song, “Nuttin' for Christmas.” As a young adult Barry starred in sitcoms including Barney Miller, Fish and The New Dick Van Dyke Show before moving into voice work and landing the role of Donatello in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.We also take a look at his latest creative endeavor, writing and producing a new musical called Forever, which reimagines Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray as the story of a ‘60s rock star, using race as a modern parallel to the novel's themes of class and privilege.And in IMDb Roulette, we celebrate Leave It To Beaver's most heartbreaking guest,  child of divorce, Chopper Cooper. And, with 0 degrees of separation, Barry recognizes Lisa as a Curb cast-mate!In media recommendations -- Lisa: The Rory Scovel Netflix Stand-Up SpecialWeezy: PBS Masterpiece Theatre's The Forsytes Path Points of Interest:Forever MusicalForever on Instagram Forever on FacebookParson's Nose TheaterBarry Gordon on WikipediaBarry Gordon on IMDBBarry Gordon on FacebookBarry Gordon on InstagramRory ScovelThe Forsytes

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Al Capone, Ed Sullivan, fake Jan Brady, a Lawrence Welk crush, and the days when just about everybody seemed to have a television variety show.

We also talk The Carol Burnett Show, Tim Conway breaking Harvey Korman, Laugh-In, Sonny & Cher, Donny & Marie, Captain & Tennille, and the Brady Bunch Variety Hour. Plus, Vicki Lawrence's surprising career beyond Carol Burnett, the Hudson Brothers as the poor man's Three Dog Night, and the bizarre television experiment known as Pink Lady. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with forgotten TV shows, one-season wonders, Kev on the Scene Classics, stars who knew when it was time to walk away, stars who didn't, and a plea to keep Pot Luck Saturday from going on hiatus.

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. This week, we're in the mood to take a ride so we are going to feature road trips movies. On today's episode, Andy Atherton is reviewing “It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” from 1963 starring Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle, Ethel Merman, Sid Caesar & Buddy Hackett.

The team discussed upcoming plans for their 300th episode, including potentially featuring archived content and a special edition if listeners suggest ideas. Keith shared updates about resolving RSS issues and his upcoming dental surgery, which will require removing eight teeth and potentially getting a partial denture. News of the Week The group shared news stories, including research on giraffes’ mathematical abilities, a goose alerting a family to a barn fire, and current fashion trends. The unusual news continued with an ongoing investigation into a mysterious local odor and the box-office success of the new Spider-Man movie. Jill shared a story about soccer player Hamed Ali, who set a world record by kicking a ball into a basketball hoop from 39.27 feet. Inspired by Chicago’s successful Special Olympics event that raises over $480,000 annually, Keith proposed organizing a similar rubber duck race fundraiser along the Mississippi River for MCAB. Terry concluded the segment with a story about Turbo, a 50-year-old tortoise rescued from train tracks in England following a 10-minute track shutdown. Jill's Trivia Quiz Jill hosted a trivia quiz about the TV show “I Dream of Jeannie,” testing Keith and Terry’s knowledge of the series. They tackled questions about the cast—including Larry Hagman as Tony Nelson and Barbara Eden as Jeannie—along with guest appearances by stars like Milton Berle and Sammy Davis Jr. The quiz proved challenging when it came to lesser-known characters and guest stars, proving that even familiar shows hold surprising details. Terry's Top 10 List Terry presented a top 10 list of humorous aspects of dating a blind person, touching on surprise fashion choices, becoming a designated storyteller, and unexpected room rearrangements. Anchor Topic Keith reviewed a newly delivered digital projector, expressing disappointment over its lack of accessibility features. Although he noted its solid technical performance, its heavy reliance on visual coordination and lack of wireless connectivity made it nearly impossible for him to use. Because of these accessibility barriers, Keith gave it a low rating and mentioned he may gift it to someone who can utilize it. Email and Final Thoughts Keith shared an email from an old Marine Corps buddy regarding a wardrobe malfunction, followed by a listener email about a debate over when life begins overheard at a barbershop. A voicemail submission presented a unique dilemma involving a man who needed one more child to win a radio contest. Finally, the hosts discussed a voicemail regarding a workplace pay dispute that escalated to theft; Keith expressed sympathy for the employee’s situation while maintaining that illegal action wasn’t the right solution. The Final Word From Our AI Companion This transcript captures an episode of a comedy podcast featuring hosts Keith, Jill, and Terry as they share lighthearted stories, personal updates, and clever visual humor.

Today on part one of another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Howard Murray, son of comedian Jan Murray and former dancer Toni Murray. While most of everyone listening to this podcast knows Jan, Toni actually plays a rather large role in the life of our host Josh Mills. Josh's father, photographer Martin Mills was good friends with the Murray's and as you will soon hear, Toni was instrumental in Marty's life for one specific act that we get into. Toni will always have a special place in our heart for being such a terrific friend. Clearly Howard was over-the-moon about his parents – the love was palpable. From funny stories to family stories to poignant stories and beyond, it's clear Howard's connection to his parents runs deep. Frankly, it's a delight to hear him talk about his up brining in New York, his shock to the system move to Los Angeles as a kid & some of the many shows his father hosted and guest starred on in television in the 1950s and 60s. Moreover we hear stories about Jan's start in radio, his time learning comedy at the famed Jewish resorts in the Catskills and some great stories about everyone from Jerry Lewis and Milton Berle to Shecky Green, Harry Ritz and Buddy Hackett. And best of all, this is only part one. Part two is next week. And as we close in on episode number 300 next week, we will also have some news for you next about the podcast. Stay tuned. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and everyone has a story.

Comedy: Kiss and Make Up with Milton Berle 3/4/46 CBS, Jack Benny Program 3/2/52 CBS.

We continue our Love Boat  Re-watch podcast.Our guest passenger Chris Giarusso joins us to discuss Charro's debut as recurring character April Lopez , the stowaway, who lept into our hearts for 9 future episodes.Plus, Bill Bixby pre-Hulk in a weird attempt at a dramatic story, and the first king of variety tv Milton Berle as a Practical Joker who never knows when to quit. 

Back on this day in 1956, Elvis performed on The Milton Berle Show. It was during this show where Elvis was banned from showing any movement from the waist down on national television.

“Today is all about 7's…”   We can't believe it…it's officially been SEVEN years since we began our podcasting journey, and as of this episode, we are celebrating SEVEN years of heavy metal podcasting excellence!  And in the spirit of heavy metal greatness, what better way to celebrate and commemorate the completion of our SEVENTH year than a tribute to the best thing MTV ever did for metal heads that started way back in the late 80's: HEADBANGERS BALL!!!   “It was the novelty, because that was the only place where you could get it…”   Premiering on Saturday April 18, 1987, MTV began what would become a weekly Saturday night tradition and/or ritual for metal heads with HEADBANGERS BALL, the one section of MTV that belonged to the metal community…it was OUR show, OUR music, and OUR videos, made by metal heads for metal heads (ironically, not unlike this podcast).   “SEVEN!”   Granted, there were often a lot of glam and hair metal videos mixed in, but there were always a plethora of obscure thrash, power metal, and other assorted heavy metal videos on there that you absolutely could not see anywhere else on MTV except for when you tuned in to “The Ball” (NOTE:  this is where the crochety “back in my day” sentiment comes into play because, as everyone with access to the internet knows, in the late 80's, rock radio sure as hell wasn't doing much to promote metal artists, and we certainly didn't have Spotify or YouTube at our disposal. “The Ball” was all we had…mark the time.).   “They weren't Trans then, dude…they were 100% dudes and they were the Savatage Brothers…”   Break out your finest relaxers and get ready for a celebratory stroll down memory lane, and understand that since we're discussing music videos, you're gonna need all the sensory enhancement you can muster to thoroughly maximize your enjoyment of this episode. Find out who's “lips are always out”, understand why calling a woman “handsome” is a dangerous move even with the proper context, see how many applicable references to “SEVEN!” you can find in this episode, and don't deny the power of “The Dinklage” when you JOIN US as we celebrate our 7th birthday in nostalgic style with HEADBANGERS BALL.

The movie follows a crazy cast on the hunt for hidden loot, and we'll hear six of the film's stars in radio thrillers: Phil Silvers in "The Swift Rise of Eddie Albright" (originally aired on CBS on April 3, 1947); Mickey Rooney in "The Lie" (originally aired on CBS on April 28, 1949); Milton Berle in "Rave Notice" (originally aired on CBS on October 12, 1950); Jack Benny in "Plan X" (originally aired on CBS on February 2, 1953);  Ethel Merman in "Never Follow a Banjo Act" (originally aired on CBS on February 1, 1954); and Jim Backus in "See How He Runs" (AFRS rebroadcast from April 19, 1959).

Our ongoing series of Wizard of Oz adaptation reviews reaches Journey Back to Oz, an animated movie that Filmation started producing in 1962. However, they ran out of money, and the movie sat around unfinished for a full decade, until Filmation had some cash rolling in from their cheapo Saturday morning cartoons. Was Journey Back to Oz worth the wait? Yeah, sort of. It boasts an all-star cast led by Liza Minnelli as Dorothy, the role her mom played in the classic 1939 movie. Also in the cast: Margaret Hamilton (the Wicked Witch back in 1939, now playing Aunt Em), Ethel Merman, Danny Thomas, Mickey Rooney, Larry Storch, Mel Blanc, Milton Berle... and Paul Lynde. (Yikes, with Paul on board, they could have skipped the movie and just played a round of Hollywood Squares.) And yes, Journey Back to Oz also features a talking signpost, a wooden horse, Jack Pumpkinhead, evil trees, gay trees, and plenty of chickens. Watch it just once, and inside your brain, the angry green elephants will never stop screaming. Plus: Kevin is on another American Sci-Fi Classics online panel all about Supergirl, just in time for the new movie! (But we still love the old movie.) The Amercian Sci-Fi Classics Supergirl panel!

Cindy Adams blends personal nostalgia with sharp social commentary to offer her listeners a brief respite from a "lousy" modern world. She structures the program around a series of celebrity anecdotes featuring icons like Robert De Niro and Milton Berle, juxtaposing the glamour of "old New York" against the perceived incompetence of current political leadership. Adams navigates a variety of topics, ranging from the history of Broadway and legendary figures like Connie Francis to the "Armageddon" of global conflict and local urban decay.

Tune in for a chaotic and wildly entertaining late-night ride that captures the unpredictable spirit of a 1960s variety show. Host Lionel jumps effortlessly from deep theological debates about the nature of the Antichrist and the limitations of the devil's power to fiery critiques of classic comedy, including why John Belushi's samurai sketches are highly overrated. Along the way, the phone lines open up to a bizarre cast of callers sharing everything from stories about blowing up golf courses on the set of Caddyshack, to dire warnings about EMP attacks destroying the national power grid, and even a casual claim about spotting the devil at a local egg farm. Whether you are here to ponder the origins of evil, reminisce about old-school comedians like Moms Mabley and Milton Berle, or just laugh at the sheer absurdity of midnight talk radio, this episode delivers.

Mark Simone recounts the tragic collapse of the Friars Club, a legendary New York institution that once served as a sanctuary for show business icons like Frank Sinatra and Johnny Carson. After more than a century of prestige, the club fell into disarray due to mismanagement and criminal activity, leading to federal raids, indictments, and the eventual loss of its historic clubhouse. The dialogue highlights a mysterious memorabilia auction in California, where items ranging from Milton Berle's pool table to Jack Benny's violin are being sold off under uncertain legal authority.  Learn more about your ad choices.

EPISODE 125 -  “VIRGINIA MAYO: CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD STAR OF THE MONTH” - 2/02/2026  One of the most glamorous actresses in old Hollywood undoubtedly was VIRGINIA MAYO. This peaches-and-cream, midwestern beauty started her career wrangling two men in a horse costume on stage before being discovered by producer SAMUEL GOLDWYN and transformed into a full-blown movie star. Often playing the fantasy girl to leading men like BOB HOPE and DANNY KAYE, her beauty sometimes made people miss the fact that she was a very capable actress — particularly when she played bad girls in films like “The Best Years of Our Lives” and “White Heat.” She was very adept at light comedy, romance films, and drama, appearing in over 50 feature films and many television shows throughout her career. And tune in to find out about Steve's connection to this old Hollywood glamour girl as we celebrate Mayo as our February Star of the Month.   SHOW NOTES:  Sources: The Best Years of My Life (2001), by Virginia Mayo, as told to LC Van Savage; The Forties Gals (1980), by James Robert Parish & Don E.

Gilbert and Frank visit the New York City apartment of “Roastmaster General” Jeff Ross to talk about some of his favorite roasts and roast jokes (he also couldn't resist the urge to roast his two interviewers).

This episode is a little delayed but look at that runtime! And no, it's not all The Love Boat, but there's plenty of that. On this episode of Across the Omniverse we watch a season one episode of the primetime broadcast anthology show from the 1970s, featuring guest stars like Bill Bixby and Milton Berle. We talk about what a creep Doc is, the weird way you can get from Bixby to the Trump administration, and how Charo overexposed herself into obscurity.Before that we have news, like the winners of the Critic's Choice Awards, and we go long on Stranger Things season 5 and the finale. How long? Let's just say that you should skip from 47:01 to 1:45:05 if you don't want to get spoiled or just don't care about the topic.

(Airdate: 12.3.25) Today on the Who Cares News, we go from the Rat Pack to TikTok in one wild swing. First up: Paul Anka confirms what Hollywood's been whispering for decades — yes, Frank Sinatra was packing more than just vocal range… and somehow Milton Berle still outdid him. Then we jump to the present with Miley Cyrus flashing a massive new ring and an even bigger engagement announcement. And because the world can't get enough content, NBC is sending a small army of influencers to the 2026 Winter Olympics, guaranteeing at least six medal-worthy TikToks.

RUNDOWN   Time for a post-Thanksgiving catch-up — from Hotshot's massive Bonnie Lake feast (and industrial-sized leftovers) to Mitch explaining why he avoids other people's stuffing, small talk, and social gatherings altogether. The guys 'roll' into a playful celebration of area code 360, spotlighting surprising celebrity ties: Sam Elliott's Clark College days, Hilary Swank's Bellingham childhood, The Rock's Vancouver roots, and of course Kurt Cobain — whose Aberdeen home, schools, and legacy still anchor the region. Mitch and Hotshot mourn Washington's deflating rivalry loss to Oregon, wondering what's happened to Damon Williams over the last few weeks and whether Jed Fisch's 8–4 season is real progress or just a tiny baby step. They pivot to the Seahawks' 26–0 shutout of a completely overmatched Vikings team led by one-and-done starter Max Broer, raising fresh concerns about Sam Darnold, a sputtering passing game, and what—if anything—you can actually learn from a win like that. Mitch then slips into full "Mr. Playoffs" mode, mapping out the Rams–Seahawks tiebreaker hell. Brady and Jacson join Mitch to break down Seattle's emphatic 26–0 shutout of Minnesota — the team's first since 2015 — powered by five takeaways, four sacks, and total defensive domination of an undrafted rookie QB. While the win keeps Seattle tied atop the NFC West, all three acknowledge the troubling offensive trend. The crew debates whether this defense — with Ernest Jones ascending, DeMarcus Lawrence wrecking pockets, Reek Woolen surging, and reinforcements like Julian Love near return — is good enough to carry a sputtering offense deep into January. Rick joins Mitch to dissect Washington's season-ending loss to Oregon — highlighting Damon Williams' late-year regression, disorganized reads, and off-timed footwork, while crediting Dante Moore for outplaying him in a game UW needed. They walk through the wild coaching carousel (Lane Kiffin to LSU? Will Ole Miss even let him coach the playoff?) and unravel the tangled playoff math: whether the Ohio State–Indiana loser still deserves a bye, how an Alabama loss would knock them out, and why Texas Tech's "purchased darlings" have a real shot to win it all.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Thanksgiving Leftovers, the 360 Area Code Deep Dive, and a Tour Through Kurt Cobain's Aberdeen Roots 10:57 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 15:22 | Ducks Roll the Dawgs, Damon Williams Stalls, and the Seahawks Cruise While Playoff Math Gets Messy 35:39 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Blank Vikings 26–0, Rise to 9–3, and Spark Big Questions About Darnold, Pressure, and JSN Dependency 1:01:46 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Neuheisel Breaks Down Oregon–UW, Lane Kiffin Chaos, and the High-Stakes Math of the New 12-Team Playoff 1:32:26 | Other Stuff Segment: three-six-oh shoutout to Ben Gibbard and Death Cab for Cutie in Bremerton, Huskies bowl projections (LA Bowl vs Boise State/UNLV, Sun Bowl vs SMU, or Holiday Bowl vs Pitt in San Diego), Lane Kiffin bolts Ole Miss for LSU and gets cussed out at the airport while Ole Miss fans also blame Pete Carroll and even God for "telling him to go," Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia's brother Javier arrested again for public intoxication at Neyland Stadium, Jim Mora Jr leaves UConn for Colorado State and we revisit his infamous Hugh Millen "I'd leave in a second for UW" comment and his brutal Olindo Mare kicker rant, Carmel-by-the-Sea banning pickleball at public courts over nonstop paddle pop noise, Lions' Thanksgiving halftime show with Jack White bringing out Eminem for a Detroit super-collab, ozempic "perk" for men where losing weight makes everything look bigger downstairs, Paul Anka's new doc and his stories about Frank Sinatra's and Milton Berle's legendary endowments, Italy's "Mrs. Doubtfire" scam where a son dressed as his dead mom for years to steal her pension, Richard Simmons' Hollywood Hills house getting a big price cut on the market, RIPs: Fuzzy Zoeller – Masters and U.S. Open champion – dead at 74, HEADLINEs: France's far-right leader gets egged and floured like a human baguette, Brain scan reportedly shows Kim Kardashian has "low activity" upstairs, Trump supposedly slaps a "No fat chicks" sign outside the Oval Office, Thieves steal $90K worth of gourmet snails and instantly become the true escar-goats

We enter the 50s as our journey through the years of Suspense continues with my favorite episodes from 1950. First, Dana Andrews is a cop on the trail of a killer in a radio adaptation of Ray Bradbury's “The Crowd” (originally aired on CBS on September 21, 1950), and Milton Berle is an actor who hopes he can convincingly play a crazy man to escape a death sentence for murder in “Rave Notice” (originally aired on CBS on October 12, 1950). Cary Grant picks the wrong time and place to run out of gas in the classic chiller “On a Country Road” (originally aired on CBS on November 16, 1950), and Ray Milland discovers a plot to bribe a jury - and his wife is kidnapped to keep his silence - in “After the Movies” (originally aired on CBS on December 7, 1950). Finally, Alan Ladd stars in a tale of revenge out of the old west in “A Killing in Abilene” (originally aired on CBS on December 14, 1950).  

Buonopalooza wraps up with Howard Morris's caper comedy Who's Minding the Mint? (1967). Jim Hutton stars as Harry Lucas, a hapless Treasury worker who accidentally swipes $50,000 and scrambles to replace it before he's caught. To pull off the fix, he enlists a motley crew of oddballs, including Dorothy Provine's Verna Baxter, who's more interested in perfecting her brownies than in breaking and entering. The ensemble bursts with familiar faces—Milton Berle, Joey Bishop, Walter Brennan, Jack Gilford, and of course, Victor Buono.Mike White, Otto Bruno, and Tim Madigan close out the Buono-palooza celebration with this breezy, big-cast caper.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

We stand in gratitude to Bruce Vilanch for Peak Hollywood's most treasured and iconic entertainment history moments. Bruce is an EGOT Award Show Writer and he's penned warehouses and server farms full of TV Variety shows and specials with lingering legacies. As infamous Youtube gems were mined, during lockdown, by intrepid Millennial podcasters, Bruce bravely opened wounds to spill toxic details.Yes, we are talking Star Wars Holiday & Paul Lynde Halloween Specials. The hot tea is on tap in Bruce's new book, It Seemed Like A Bad Idea At The Time.As a child, Bruce was not just your garden variety funny fat kid. His mother recognized his unique potential and submitted young Bruce as a Lane Bryant Charming Chub print model.  His journalism career took off at summer camp where Bruce successfully avoided outdoor activities by writing a popular and dishy camp newspaper. During college he went pro as a cub reporter for The Chicago Tribune, watching the films Gene Siskel elected to skip. A review of Bette Midler's cabaret show led to a collaborative lifelong friendship.The pattern has continued with Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal, Dolly Parton and beyond. Bruce's comedic charms are so potent, he can take stinkers like Can't Stop The Music and Ice Pirates (featuring Bruce as a court jesting body-less head) and  churn hilarity. Wherever the comedy leaned towards tragedy, Bruce mined the gold that is his new book.Bruce also tells us how Donny Osmond's pull with Mormon elders got a Utah affiliate to broadcast Bette Midler's HBO special. Bruce then boldly addresses the Jo Koy Golden Globes fiasco. He imparts the famous legend of Beethoven (the dog's) Oscar movement, and tells of his daring journey in search of a look at Milton Berle's alleged equipment.But, Bruce's glories will not be outshined by his duds because we are ringing in a round of IMDB Roulette in which we celebrate: Ray Charles, Dolly Parton Elizabeth Taylor and The Constitution! Plus, Bruce hints at an upcoming special with Whoopi Goldberg!In recommendations --Weezy: Shiny Happy People: A Teenage Holy War on PrimeFritz: The Documentary, Billy Joel: And So It Goes on HBO MaxPath Points of Interest:It Seemed Like A Bad Idea At The Time: The Worst TV Shows In History And Other Things I Wrote by Bruce VilanchBruce Vilanch on WikipediaBruce Vilanch on IMDBBruce Vilanch on FacebookWe Got Bruce - Fan SiteStar Wars Holiday SpecialPaul Lynde Halloween SpecialBrady Bunch Variety Hour - First EpisodeShiny Happy People - Season 2 - Teenage Holy WarBilly Joel And So It GoesMedia PathMedia Path on FacebookMedia Path on InstagramMedia Path on XMedia Path on Bluesky
