Academy of American TV: Ladies Who Make Us Laugh

Posted by admin in comedy, streaming video on June 20, 2011

Anytime I get to see Bonnie Hunt discuss the craft of comedy, it’s treasured wisdom, but on a recent night the Academy of American Television hosted a night of conversation (Ladies Who Make Us Laugh) with Hunt as well as Carol Leifer, Caroline Rhea, Elayne Boosler, Lily Tomlin, Margaret Cho, and Mary Lynn Rajskub.

TV: John Irving on the Bonnie Hunt Show

Posted by admin in talk show on November 10, 2009

I felt giddy just typing the headline. I enjoy The Bonnie Hunt Show. In some ways, it’s a throwback to the era of the 1970s Mike Douglas show-but with a twist. Hunt, a former oncology nurse, frequently campaigns for her cancer charity (as is her right-and for which I admire her). So it did not surprise me that she got novelist John Irving to discuss his battle with prostate cancer (he was on the show last week), as shown in this clip.

Irving is my favorite living novelist, and I am glad he is still living. Oh, and if you didn’t know, his new novel, Last Night in Twisted River, was released late last month. I cannot wait to read it.
