Summary

It's two brief but memorable interviews in one episode as Gilbert’s old boss, actor, producer and songwriter Alan Thicke, joins the boys for a look back at the late, lamented 1983 talk show "Thicke of the Night” (featuring a young Gilbert Gottfried)! and reminisces about everything from his short-lived disco career to scripting variety specials for Johnny Cash, Bobby Darin and Flip Wilson. Also, Alan and Gilbert swap wives, John Lennon praises commercial jingles and Paul Lynde drives his sportscar into a ditch. Next up, it's a clash of comedy titans as Gilbert and Frank extend a peace offering to Las Vegas legend Shecky Greene following the much-publicized Gilbert-Shecky Friars Club feud!
