He was the host of my favorite podcast - a show I've been listening to obsessively since I discovered it at least five years ago. Listen to his recent interviews with Michael Feinstein, Frank Ferrante (they did dueling Grouchos), or Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss. Or one of his many Christmas episodes with Mario Cantone. His humor was only exceeded only by his in-depth knowledge of old time show biz. https://www.gilbertpodcast.com/
And though I only met him once - for a few seconds in an elevator at the Museum of TV and Radio (he was kind enough to pretend to laugh at a little joke I made) - I will miss him very much. -Tim On Tuesday, April 12, 2022 at 9:25:43 PM UTC-4 Kevin M.
