But we thought it would be fun to revisit a very early podcast from March, 2022 with comedian Robert Klein. This podcast was originally recorded and played only in audio but we found the recording and will rerun it for the first time with the original video

We all know Robert Klein from hir more than 80 appearances on the Johnny Carson Show, and his more than 79 film and TV credits. He hosted Saturday Night Live twice and was in the original Cheeseburger Sketch with John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd. Robert was the frst comedian to have ab HBO SPecal and went on to star in 8 more. He's been nominated for 2 Emmy's, 3 Grammys and 1 Tony. His most recent film, Befre I Go , is a sometimes funny, but always moving experience.

You will get to know Robert as a person as he and I talk about his career, medicine and dentistry, Johnny Carson, SNL, his family, quitting smoking, politics, health and even the picture on the wall behind him..
