This week's podcast might be of interest to TV watchers. Bob Perlow was known to me for years as the best warm up comic in the business, but I only recently learned he was a sitcom writer going back to Laverne & Shirley, Mork & Mindy, Night Court, Newhart, and more. He has a new book and one man show about his life and times in Hollywood. I got some good stories when I talked with him.
