We were also on the Steve Allen show...got to meet all those guys and they are genuinely funny.
I went to high school with Ed Begley Jr who later became a stand up comic and actually one time opened for a band I was in at The Troubadour here in LA! We had a nice time reminiscing. Ironically his dad, EB Sr was on the Joey Bishop (another comic) show with SAC and I got to talk to him in the green room and remind him that he used to pick me up for school on occasion. Ed Jr told me that his dad really appreciated me taking the time to tell him that and that he was really impressed with our success. Ed Jr has had quite a career since then...That meeting was around 1976...our paths have not crossed again.
