  • The One and Only

    We are fortunate that so much of motion picture and television history is documented for posterity. The stories directly from the mouths of those who were there. Nothing tickles me more than listening to Gilbert’s laugh. Frank is the perfect straight man to Gilbert’s antics. So thankful to Frank and the crew for reinvigorating Gilbert just years before his untimely death. Special mention to Gilbert’s wonderful wife Dara. Her love and patience with Gilbert made all the difference.

  • Amazing Podcast Indeed!

    I still listen because no one can make me laugh like Gilbert. I enjoyed the friendship he had with Frank my fellow kid from Queens. I love when Gilbert sings and does his great impressions!

  • Posthumorously fabulous

    I have loved Gilbert’s irreverent sense of humor since I was a kid. I started listening to this wonderful podcast when he was alive (I was late to it) and since he left us I resolved to start at episode 1 and listen to all of them in order. Frank is the perfect eminently replaceable co-host and their chemistry is infectious. I truly enjoy getting to know so many titans of “old Hollywood,” but what I love best is continuing to get to know Gilbert. A singular talent and a lovable sentimental soul ... more
