If you're a student of comedy (and show business, generally), this is an episode you cannot miss. Andrew sat down with Jeff Abraham and Burt Kearns, the authors of "The Show Won't Go On" a comprehensive history of entertainers who literally died on stage. Jeff is a long-time entertainment publicist, having represented comedians like George Carlin and Andrew Dice Clay. Burt is a long-time TV producer and journalist, who worked on "A Current Affair" and was the author of the celebrated book, "Tabloid Baby".
Andrew listens as Jeff and Burt tell stories about those who died performing... like actor Dick Shawn, Harry "Parkyakarkus" Einstein (father of Albert Brooks and Bob "Super Dave Osborne" Einstein), and others. They have an in-depth discussion of the "art" of bullet catching--and how dangerous stunts can turn deadly.
But they also talk about Jeff and Burt's careers - Jeff tells a story about being yelled at by Paul Anka, Burt talks about trying to get Buddy Hackett for a courtroom TV show. They talk about their love of Jerry Lewis, Jeff's world-reknowned collection of comedy albums, and their shared love of New York City TV shows (each has their favorite host of the Channel 5 staple, Wonderama!).
