This week, the not-to-be-missed conclusion of our one-year anniversary episode as actor Craig Bierko, illustrator Drew Friedman, comedy writer Tom Leopold, writer-producer Bill Persky and musician Paul Shaffer join Gilbert and Frank for a fascinating (true!) and fast-paced (not really) conversation about topics too trivial to ignore! Also, Craig salutes the comic villainy of Dabney Coleman, Bill tries to keep the Bums in Brooklyn, Drew grills “old Groucho” and Paul and Tom recall the unforgettable “Viva Shaf Vegas”!

PLUS: The legend of Harry Crane! The balladry of Nipsey Russell! The return of Maria Ouspenskaya! And Gilbert sings “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”!
