Podcast appearances and mentions of Nathan Lane

As Tom Brady teams up with WWE, the guys try to figure out which events he'll actually join, followed by a quick look at Kenan Thompson's surprise over Peyton Manning's SNL comedy chops. Gio then shares his plan to meet his mom in the city for her birthday Broadway play—admitting he's dreading a potential Nathan Lane understudy, and acknowledging he is utterly incapable of enjoying the show. Jerry kicks off his update with Luis Robert Jr.'s monster home run in the Mets' 4-0 win over the Brewers, before moving to A's rookie Joshua Kuroda-Grauer suffering a ruptured testicle after fouling a ball off his un-cupped nether region. Gio suspects Gary Cohen only sent get-well wishes on the Mets broadcast just so he could say "ruptured testicle" on air, and to no one's surprise, the show wraps up the hour by discussing the injury even further.

Plus, we revisit some of the film's most iconic moments—including the "I pierced the toast!" breakfast scene, Agador's scene-stealing entrances, the unforgettable dinner sequence, and the hilarious climax that has become comedy legend.Nearly thirty years after its release, does The Birdcage still hold up?

In this episode of JJ Meets World, JJ and Tucker dive into underrated movies, cult classics, video store nostalgia, Fargo pop culture, local mascots, and the strange ways entertainment has changed in the streaming era. JJ kicks things off with a passionate defense of Clifford, the 1994 Martin Short and Charles Grodin comedy that deserves far more love than it gets. From there, the conversation turns into a celebration of underappreciated movies, including The Hand That Rocks the Cradle with Rebecca De Mornay and Ernie Hudson, and Mouse Hunt, the Nathan Lane and Lee Evans comedy directed by Gore Verbinski. The conversation also explores why old video rental stores made it easier to discover strange, wonderful movies, how streaming algorithms shape what people watch now, and why DVD collections, Blu-ray releases, and physical media still matter. JJ shares memories of Stephen Tobolowsky, signed memorabilia, celebrity photos, and the documentary Stephen Tobolowsky's Birthday Party. Later, JJ and Tucker talk about Fargo nostalgia and local change, including the bankruptcy of Jade Presents, memories of Steve Hanson, the demolition of familiar places, downtown Fargo's raccoon mascot, and Country Hearth's bread mascot Loafy. The episode wraps with video rental store simulator games, job-based cozy games, Valheim, a one-to-one Titanic build, and Tucker's imaginary documentary about JJ chopping down a tree. It's a wide-ranging JJ Meets World conversation about movies, nostalgia, Fargo, mascots, physical media, gaming, and the little pop culture discoveries that stick with you forever.

Happy Pride Month! We're celebrating with a movie that may just have Robin Williams' most handsome appearance - The Birdcage! In this very gay episode, we discuss everything from Nathan Lane's expertly flamboyant performance, to the themes of acceptance and more importantly, actually being yourself, to Hank Azaria's buttcheeks. We're also drinking Tree House Brewing's Double Rainbow double IPA for an extra thematic resonance.Approximate timeline0:00-11:00 Intro11:00-19:00 Beer talk19:00-end The BirdcageWe'll be back in a couple weeks with more episodes!

Pride Month keeps the celebration moving on We Drink & We Watch Things as we transition from the quiet, burning embers of 18th-century France to the bright, neon-soaked drag capital of South Beach. For our "G" selection in the lineup, we are throwing it back to 1996 for Mike Nichols and Elaine May's sublime masterclass in comedic farce: The Birdcage. Mix yourself something wonderfully refreshing - perhaps Lemar's "Straight" Bourbon - and get ready for a family dinner where absolutely nothing goes according to plan.This week, we celebrate the legendary chemistry between Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, looking at how Williams plays the perfect, anchored straight man (pun intended) to Lane's fiercely dramatic, Barbara Bush-redefining Albert. We bask in the glorious, scene-stealing supporting work of Hank Azaria as the perpetually barefoot Agador Spartacus and Gene Hackman as the ultra-conservative Senator Keeley, who unwittingly ends up in the drag escape of a lifetime. We also break down the film's incredible heart, discussing how beneath the chaotic Martha Graham choreography, the "eco-friendly" naked-boy pottery, and the frantic attempts to pass as straight, it is a deeply moving portrait of unconditional love and a radical defense of queer families.If you can instantly recite the difference between a John Wayne walk and a regular walk, or if you just want to hear us gush about the comedic genius of an Elaine May screenplay, this episode is pure joy. We're blending our adoration for this comfort-movie masterpiece with our usual casual banter, proving that when the world gets crazy, sometimes you just have to give 'em a little bit of Fosse, Fosse, Fosse!This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up.

On this episode, Paul Wontorek sits down with 2026 Tony-nominated star, Nathan Lane, and 2026 Tony-nominated Director, Joe Mantello, to talk about their intense Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman. It's a funny and insightful chat that actually takes place ON-STAGE at the Winter Garden Theatre.

"Death of a Salesman" tells the story of Willy Loman, a traveling salesman chasing the American Dream but never quite able to reach it. Now, the classic is back on Broadway in a new production that underscores the play's enduring relevance. Senior arts correspondent Jeffrey Brown sat down with actors Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.

KPFA Theatre Critic Richard Wolinsky reviews “Pictures from Home” at Marin Theatre through May 31, 2026           TEXT OF REVIEW Acclaimed photographer Larry Sultan based his career on capturing life as lived through his art, and what better notion than collating photos of his own family and home growing up in Sherman Oaks in Southern California during the middle of the twentieth century. This collection of snapshots became a book published in 1992, which was then adapted for the stage as “Pictures from Home”, which plays at Marin Theatre through May 31st. In this memory play, Larry, who died in 2009, tells the story of his visits to his parents while preparing the book, as the three, parents and son, comment on the pictures and bicker with one another. Irving Sultan, a retired salesman, is no Willy Loman. He sold well and retired well-off, always ready to explain exactly what makes a great salesman, often to Larry's chagrin. Jean Sultan, ever acerbic, puts up with her husband's toxic masculinity, refusing to take his bullying and having a life of her own. Always seemingly on the verge of divorce, they will stay together until the end. What makes Pictures from Home work so well in this Marin Theatre production — the show began off broadway with in 2023 with a cast that included Nathan Lane — is the truthfulness, in the dialogue, in all three performances, and in the direction of Jonathan Moscone. There's no heightened speech, no pregnant theatrical pauses. These are real people sounding like a family, dysfunctional maybe, but real. The performances by Victor Talmadge as Irving and Susan Koozin as Jean are so truthful that even if they're not your actual parents or grandparents, they still sound like them in their sparring and quarrelling. Dan Cantor, as the narrator and son, physically a dead ringer for the real Larry, pulls off his double duties without a hitch. Pictures from Home can at times be painful to watch. These people are maybe too real for comfort. Do you really want to spend an evening with relatives like these, didn't you move as far away from them as possible? Our memories create golden ages where such squabbles and power plays don't exist. Which is why Larry Sultan's photos have such resonance. His photos were more credible than the memories he retained, which is why his books and exhibitions work so well. This play mirrors that credibility. With truthfulness in short supply these days in social media and in news reports, finding it in a memory play is all the more special. Pictures from Home by Sharr White, directed by Jonathan Moscone, plays at Marin Theatre through May 31st. For more information you can go to marintheatre.org.

All's Well That Ends Well: Michael Bradshaw Flynn On Bringing Back the BardFifteen years ago, staging Shakespeare in Scranton sounded improbable to plenty of people, especially to some New York theater types.The original production was intended as a one-time public performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream in Nay Aug Park. Organizers hoped a modest audience would turn out for the celebrated Bard.Instead, more than 1,000 people packed into the park. In this episode of HarmonyTALK, host Lisa Champeau speaks with Scranton Shakespeare Festival co-founder Michael Bradshaw Flynn about the unlikely evolution of the festival from a free outdoor performance into a permanent arts organization producing musicals, Shakespeare, new works, and youth programming in downtown Scranton and Northeast Pennsylvania.Flynn discusses balancing a career between New York and Northeastern Pennsylvania, working on Broadway productions including The Front Page, It's Only a Play, and The Nance, (with Nathan Lane) and why regional theater still matters at a time when arts organizations across the country face shrinking audiences and financial instability.The conversation traces Flynn's early immersion in theater through Arts Alive, the Scranton Cultural Center, and local summer stock programs, as well as the influence of a family steeped in storytelling traditions.Now entering its 15th season under the theme Faith, the Scranton Shakespeare Festival will present Much Ado About Nothing, Carousel, Henry V, Saint Joan, Jesus Christ Superstar, youth ensemble productions, and a 15th anniversary gala.For more information, visit https://www.scrantonshakes.com/@Scranton Shakespeare Festival@Michael Bradshaw Flynn@Lisa Champeau@WVIA

Nathan Lane just received a Tony nomination for his starring role as Willy Loman in ‘Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.' He's a veteran of the stage – often in comedic and musical roles. But in the role of Loman, which he does eight times a week, he's noticed something different in the audience. “There's an old joke – my job is just to keep 1600 people from coughing. It's kind of true, but when you hear what we hear during ‘Salesman,' you hear people weeping in the dark.”  At the age of 70, Lane says this production of ‘Salesman' is the thing he's most proud of. He spoke with ‘Fresh Air' guest interviewer Sam Fragoso, host of the podcast ‘Talk Easy.'  Later, Ken Tucker reviews new songs by Ella Langley, Robyn, and Allison Russell. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Welcome to an unforgettable episode where we dive deep into the "lottery" of the acting world with the remarkably talented John Magaro. Join us as John reveals how he transitioned from the "analytical bullshit" of conservatory training to a career defined by honesty and discovery, sharing the stage with icons like Nathan Lane and navigating the high-stakes sets of The Big Short and Orange is the New Black. John also shares how he revolutionized his own process by self-taping long before it was the industry standard, teaming up with producer and editor friends to rent professional studio space and use high-end cameras to ensure he was putting his best work forward. Whether you're a fan of his voyeuristic performances in First Cow or his heart-wrenching work in the Oscar-nominated Past Lives and his upcoming film Omaha, this conversation is a masterclass in building a "yellow brick road" of professional relationships while staying ruthlessly focused on the craft. These are the unforgettable stories that landed John Magaro right here. Credits: Materialists The Big Short Past Lives The Bride!

In this episode of Half Hour, we take a deeper dive into the 2026 Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman at the Winter Garden Theatre. We walk through the production's take on the American Dream, the pressure to succeed, and how those themes land in 2026. We break down Joe Mantello's direction, including the spare, symbolic staging, the recurring car motif, and the way the production frames Willy Loman's world as a kind of purgatory. We also look closely at the performances, from Nathan Lane's take on Willy's unraveling to Laurie Metcalf's grounded, quietly devastating Linda, along with the supporting work from Christopher Abbott and Ben Ahlers. We talk about how this revival speaks to modern capitalism, influencer culture, technology's impact on sales, the cycle of debt in America, and why Death of a Salesman keeps returning to the Broadway stage. We also consider critical reception so far and make some early Tony predictions for the production and its stars.

Award-winning composer and co-lyricist Marc Shaiman (Hairspray, Sister Act, Smash and many others) joins fellow Tony Award winner Nathan Lane for a look behind the curtain of life on Broadway, in Hollywood and on Television, with a conversation about Shaiman's new memoir, Never Mind the Happy: Showbiz Stories from a Sore Winner. Emerging from community theater in his teens, sparking a decades-long collaboration with Bette Midler in the '70s, surviving the AIDS crisis of the '80s and bursting into Hollywood and Broadway glory, Marc Shaiman has spent 50 years making some of the most beloved musicals and film scores of our era. Hilarious and deeply human, Shaiman's story is a tribute to the power of music and the pull of the spotlight. Join him with his longtime pal Nathan Lane — a decades-long musical friendship — for a candid, uproariously fun evening of backstage stories from a shared life in show business, on and offstage.

With a gazillion-dollar smile, easy, absolutely effortless charm, Tony Award-winning Cady Huffman took this adoring fan and turned me into an even bigger one (who knew that was possible), and dare I say (she said), a friend. *Sigh* A masterful storyteller, without even trying, I was delightfully mesmerized, hanging on her every word. Her remembrances of Bob Fosse, auditioning for him, being cast by him, dancing with him (WHAT!), and drinking beside him, left me breathless. Tommy Tune, another genius, and The Will Rogers Follies, her first Tony nomination, her most vivid remembrance of finding out is about the guy she woke up with. So damn human at every turn. I love this woman! And of course, her Tony turn, also winning the Drama Desk Award and the Outer Critics' Circle Award, for The Producers, where I first witnessed Cady's stunningly sexy, adorable Ulla, the last preview before opening night. The show against which I've measured all others. To date, none have exceeded the laughs, the spectacle, and the non-stop thrills. In a word, it was… perfection! Cady told us about Susan Stroman, Mel Brooks, Nathan Lane. and our mutual friend, Wendy Waring, still in Cady's world today. We talked Kay Cole, Samantha's director and OG of A Chorus Line, who sang, At the Ballet, which could have been Cady's theme song for many of her days, La Cage Aux Folles, her first Broadway play, the wild backstage antics, and auditioning for Cy Coleman, hysterical! Dame Edna! Steel Pier, Sting! We talked about growing up in Santa Barbara, early family struggles, her first play and her first line, ballet, opera, and Cady mastering each. Her brother Linus, childhood friends Anthony Edwards, Eric Stoltz, and the incredible Kathleen Wilhoite, my long-time grown-up pal. Before we signed off, we talked the reals… aging, food, booze, programs, Ozempic, and a little-known side effect that worked for the good. Cady Huffman is living my life. My childhood dream life. Better than I could have ever imagined. Tonight, I got to live it vicariously through her. Thank you, Cady, for that, for everything! Cady Huffman Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wed, April 15th, 5 pm PT, 8 pm ET https://youtube.com/live/DmE_USj-UkE

RSS/iTunes/Spotify Check out the Praising Kane archive right here. We like to have fun here on PRAISING KANE, the world’s finest chronological Carol Kane-themed podcast, but occasionally – rarely – even Carol Kane’s charms are not enough to lift up a film, and that’s certainly the case with Joyce Chopra’s misguided misfire THE LEMON SISTERS from 1989 (though held back from release until 1990). Despite a dynamite supporting cast (including Elliott Gould, Aidan Quinn, a young Nathan Lane, and Ruben Blades) and the talented trio of Diane Keaton, Kathryn Grody and Kane herself as the titular Lemon Sister (friends who grew up together on the Atlantic City boardwalk who sing standards in a nightclub.. sorta), it’s just a disaster. Bad music, incomprehensible plot elements, and a lack of chemistry just dooms the whole thing. But is there ANYTHING to recommend it? Listen and find out! The post Episode 318 – Praising Kane – The Lemon Sisters (1989) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

Nathan Lane returns to Broadway in a bold revival of 'Death of a Salesman' and joins the show to reflect on why Arthur Miller's themes feel more urgent than ever. He also shares his thoughts on Timothée Chalamet's controversial comment that “no one cares” about ballet or opera. Plus, Stephen Lang stops by to discuss honoring a powerful true story in 'The Optimist'. He shares what drew him to portraying Holocaust survivor Herbert Heller and reflects on why these stories must continue to be told. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of our ongoing Mike Nichols Marathon we are discussing the 1996 The Birdcage. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about this movie being a massive comeback for Mike Nichols and a triumph of Elaine May's screenwriting. We touch on the many talents of the film's diverse cast that included Robin Williams in an out-of-character calm role, Nathan Lane as the flamboyant diva Albert and how they faced off against the conservative characters played by Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest. We talk about the many subtle quirks and inside jokes in the movie, The Birdcage as a movie that melted conservative hearts in 1996 and how it would have been impossible to remake it today without risking backlash from all corners.
