Comedian John Kensil joins host Rich Stein

This is part two of my two part episode with Comedian John Kensil. I re- ran the final 90 seconds of part one to create a smoother transition to parts one and two. We were chatting about comedians when we were young and John mentioned how many of them came on to The Mike Douglas Show ( which was taped for many years in Philadelphia) and many actors came on Mike Douglas as they were acting in dinner theater so as to keep their careers afloat.  Bob Crane was doing dinner theater after his tv work dried up and that became his undoing.

We discuss Gilbert Gottfried, Redd Foxx, Slappy White, SCTV, Robert Klein, Woody Allen, Johnny Carson, Dean Martin, Norm Macdonald, Lenny Bruce and where John thinks comedy is going and how important it is for the young comics to know about and respect all the greats that came before them.

Please welcome a great comic and Philly Legend:
