Robert Klein was not only my biggest childhood inspiration to get into stand up, one of the most brilliant performers I ever saw live, but I’m honored to say over the years he’s become a friend. We were so lucky to work with him on Reign Over Me. Adam, myself, and even the late, great Donald Sutherland, were all so excited to be on set with him, and even more elated to come to realize not only was he a wonderful actor, a consummate pro, but one a hell of a great guy. In fact looking back on it, both he and Donald were both pretty amazing to be working with.
Enjoy the episode. It’s a lot of fun listening to Robert talk, discuss his life, and also to hear his beautiful serenity and happiness let alone to see how great he looks and feels at 82. He’s a rare bird.
So glad I had this chance to talk with him. I really hope you like it.
Also, if you’re in LA. Great show tomorrow night at the Laugh Factory on Sunset. Come on out and have some fun.
