Hi, this is Gilbert Gottfried and this is Gilbert Gottfried's amazing colossal podcast.

With my co-hosts Frank Santopadre and once again where recording at Nutt Meg with our engineer Frank Ferdorosa,

our guest this week is an actor, writer, broadcaster, film historian and celebrated an award-winning TV host.

While still a college student he submitted his original comedy material to his favorite local horror program and was soon invited to appear on the show,

eventually leading to the creation of the character son of Sven Goole.

Years later he would assume the Sven Goole roll himself winning numerous local Emmys while winning over millions of horror and sci-fi fans with the show's variety of trivia, jokes, sketches and song parodies.

And in 2004 on its 25th anniversary the show was awarded the prestigious Silver Circle by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

In 2011 Sven Goole began broadcasting nationally on syndicated station me TV attracting an old new fanbase including yours truly as well as movie icons Mark Hamill and Robert England.

As well as our former podcast guest Dana Goole, Pendulate and Frank Conop.

Please welcome to the show a fellow monster kid and a man who once revealed that Una O'Connor gets on his nerves.

And a man who once presented reaches with a giant donut rich, goes aka Sven Goole.

That's probably the nicest intro I've ever had Gilbert. Yes, he wrote it himself and it's very traumatic too. Yeah, the only part missing is found dead in his Chicago part.

Trust in a lady skirt. Yeah, you just said regius. Was it regius filbin or regius to me that he gave the the giant donut to actually it was it was regius filbin.

And they said, well, we want somebody that's really identified with with our stations to come in and present him with this giant donut. So I brought it in and he was a little confused as to what I was, I think.

And when I gave it to him, I told him notice that at the bottom it says not to be used as a flotation device. But he was real nice. He was a lot of fun. Yeah, Regis, you've worked with Regis haven't you, Gil?

Oh, yeah, but the last couple of times you didn't want me on really. Yeah, okay. What did you do? He used to be kind of a fan of mine. Yes, where is he now? He's around. Oh, he's around Upper West Side somewhere. And you also did.

I sure I've done Sven Goole a few times. I've been on the show. I was very thrilled to have you on. I remember after the first time visited with us, we were kind of breaking down the set.

And you noticed the door and you said, can I be the hand at the door? Yes, we would have loved to have you do it then. But you know, the crew had already gone on because they had a sports show they had to do next.

So we promised you the next time you came in, you could do it. And indeed you did. Yes. So unlike the new Frank Nastasi.

Exactly. Now would you try going like this?

Don't kiss.

Yeah, I always freely admit that I stole the door gag thing from soupie sales. I always loved him when I was watching him as a kid.
