Summary

GGACP celebrates the birthday of the late comedian, radio personality and Emmy-winning actor Jay Thomas (b. July 12, 1948) with this ENCORE of a hilarious interview from way back in 2014. In this episode, Jay talks about playing doomed hockey star Eddie LeBec on “Cheers” and tabloid talker Jerry Gold on “Murphy Brown” and shares some brutally candid anecdotes about everything from stealing Bill Cosby’s jokes to getting kicked out of a “West Wing” audition to the world's worst cross-country flight. PLUS: Richard Dreyfuss! Cheech & Chong! Joe Piscopo runs afoul of the mob! Jay runs afoul of Rhea Perlman! Gilbert's opening act steals his material! And the Lone Ranger “rides” again!
