Naked Lunch - Being Henry (Winkler): The Fonz...And Beyond
play

10/30/23 • 51 min

In honor of our good friend Henry Winkler's new book, "Being Henry: The Fonz . . . And Beyond" we're re-airing his appearance on Naked Lunch to help celebrate! The book can be found here!
It's a very happy day as "Naked Lunch" warmly welcomes a beloved Hollywood icon, an Emmy-winning legend, a surprisingly viral fisherman, and a recently anointed DILF -- none other than "The Fonz" himself. . . Henry Winkler. Henry and Phil's friendship goes way back, and over a tasty spread from Courage Bagels, the "Naked Lunch" gang has a blast discussing Henry's amazing experiences on "Happy Days" with Ron Howard and Garry Marshall, his life-changing times working with Bill Hader on "Barry," how he met his wife Stacey, as well as some surprisingly and truly Fab stories about Lennon & McCartney and, yes, trout fishing too.

Naked Lunch - Shaun Cassidy

Shaun Cassidy

Naked Lunch

play

08/10/23 • 68 min

In every way imaginable, this "Naked Lunch" is a moving feast -- and a hilarious one, too. Teen sensation turned successful TV writer/producer Shaun Cassidy gets caught in traffic, and so thus this fun and freewheeling conversation begins with Shaun on the road. Phil, David and Shaun retrace Cassidy's remarkable life and career thus far, from growing up a Hollywood "nepo baby," the son of Oscar-winning legend Shirley Jones and actor Jack Cassidy, as well as the half-brother of David Cassidy, to becoming a stadium-packing "Teen Dream" with big pop hits like "Da Doo Ron Ron," "That's Rock 'n' Roll" and "Hey Deanie," to creating TV shows like "American Gothic," "Roar" and writing in recent years on the popular medical drama, "New Amsterdam." All this, plus Shaun tells a hugely funny story about Andy Warhol and how Oprah Winfrey and his wife Tracey helped set the stage for Shaun to return to the road after three decades for his acclaimed current touring show "The Magic of the Midnight Sky." Shaun also answers a star question sent by Kim Williams Paisley who helped set up this "Lunch," as well as taking a fan call from Monica's younger sister Jennifer Horan.

Larry Wilmore has long been considered one of the quickest and most respected minds in comedy and television -- and a longtime friend of Phil's. Over sandwiches, Larry and Phil discuss lots of common ground as showrunners, Larry's experiences working with Eddie Murphy and Bernie Mac, and David reveals how Larry helped inspire him at a key moment early in his career writing for TV. Larry also does some Fab imitations of The Beatles, Muhammad Ali and Groucho Marx, and explains how co-starring with Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening in "Jerry & Marge Go Large" on Paramount + helped him find something positive to focus on in the wake the 2021 death of his brother Marc Wilmore.

Phil invites his longtime friend and even longer-time hero Paul Reubens to Naked Lunch for a Big Adventure over lunch. This playful and ultimately revealing conversation over sandwiches from Monroe Place finds Phil, Paul & David discussing a wide-range of topics -- from Paul's education alongside classmates David Hasselhoff and Katey Sagal at Cal Arts to The Groundlings to his pre-fame work in restaurant kitchens to a wide range of unforgettable encounters with famous Pee Wee fans like Little Richard, Prince, Tom Petty, Joey Ramone and Clint Eastwood. Reubens explains two reasons he became a comedian. "I was terrible at math," he says, "and I didn't want to have to have to wear a suit to work." Here's a funny look at how Paul Reubens ended up in the suit of Pee Wee Herman and still wears it so well.
