The label on this show is "Troubles & Trends". WIOD did well in the trends, Neil and The Bird talk more about the Harassment being perpetrated by a certain member of the Bar and now it seems the Hollywood police are up to something also. Sonny Fox calls in.

GGACP continues its celebration of the 2023 holiday season by revisiting this mini-show from 2017 as Gilbert, Frank and Raybone take a longer look at some lesser-known (and deservedly so, in some cases) Christmas flicks, including "Susan Slept Here," "Pocketful of Miracles," "A Carol for Another Christmas," "Santa Claus vs. the Devil" and "The Christmas That Almost Wasn't." Also in this episode: The cinema of Sonny Fox! Grizzly Adams to the rescue! Gilbert dons a Santa suit! Frank Capra cries plagiarism! And the squirrel that saved Christmas!

Neil has a guest for the first time at WIOD, Tom Jicha. The most annoying TV ad campaign ever. Inside radio stuff including some Sonny Fox news. Uncle Neil has permission from Don Imus to play Protect Condoms. An insider view of the demise of the Miami News. They talk about the channel switching in Miami, and problems with cable and satellite TV.

Neil, and Glen hear from Don Cox, and Johnny Dark about the rumors that Sonny Fox was fired. Nobody from sales told Neil that the new Char-Hut will not be opening until next month. Old fart story, and why snowbirds drive so slow. They were told today that they have to work next Monday. Lady caller tells Neil to shut up. Paul Harvey Jr. calls, and Ed has been calling Renieri.

This special guest got his start as an NBC Page through some truly non-traditional means. It involved a mouth and no trumpet! He'll give the details! Now, imagine the sheer excitement of stepping foot into the legendary Saturday Night Live studio for the very first time. You'll hear what it was like and how our guest stumbled upon the one and only Paul Shaffer!  You'll go behind the scenes and hear the fascinating process of how the dress and air shows work at Saturday Night Live. There was even a time when SNL did an extra show but somehow left the incredible Billy Crystal on the cutting room floor. It's confusing, he'll explain.  Imagine rubbing shoulders with the likes of Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, and Garret Morris. What were they like back then? You'll hear a first-hand account. But the surprises don't stop there. Our guest had the incredible opportunity to meet the master Muppet himself, Jim Henson! And did you know that Henson's creations originally played late at night? Now, let's talk about the Page lounge, It turns out that our guest and his fellow Pages had some truly iconic visitors, they were some cool brothers, and let's just say that they made the showers a great place for singing the blues!  And hear the candid words from Chevy Chase regarding working on SNL! Our guest also had the privilege of being introduced to none other than "Billy" Murray by Dan Aykroyd. Talk about a legendary duo! Ah, the life of the party. We all want to know who takes that crown at SNL. Our guest will reveal who the biggest member was when it came to bringing laughter and fun to the set and after parties.  And our guest will explain how he helped Dan Aykroyd master the art of imitating the legendary late-night host, Tom Snyder. It was a smokin' demonstration!  Then brace yourselves as our guest shares an unforgettable story about escorting none other than Bond, Sean Connery, and a group of stoned celebrities to the bathroom. Trust us, it's not what you think! And when George Harrison and Paul Simon performed on SNL, our guest was behind the scenes and will reveal some fascinating details!   He worked in the Photo and PR departments, honing the skills that would carry him throughout his career. And he even had a connection to the great Sonny Fox, the VP of Children's Programming, who created the beloved "Wonderama" show.  Get ready to be amazed, entertained, and delighted as we dive deep into the extraordinary world of our remarkable guest. Please enjoy this episode with the one and only Ed Berenhaus!
