Robert Klein's Hilarious Dive into Comedy Legends - Best and Last Year of Radio

Comedy legend Robert Klein, Carl Ruiz, Sherrod Small 3/30

Join Opie for a side-splitting SiriusXM episode featuring comedy icon Robert Klein, where they riff on the legends who shaped stand-up: Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and the controversial Bill Cosby. With Klein’s razor-sharp wit and stories from his storied career, they unpack the groundbreaking documentary Robert Klein Still Can’t Stop His Leg, premiering on Starz March 31st. From Klein’s early days at Second City to his HBO specials and wild Hollywood tales—like sharing a scene with Marilyn Chambers—this episode is a laugh-packed journey through comedy history, cultural shifts, and personal anecdotes. Joined by Klein’s son Alli and director Marshall Fine, the conversation sparkles with nostalgia, humor, and unexpected revelations, making it a must-listen for comedy fans and newcomers alike.



The final year of my radio journey holds a special place in my heart, made even more poignant by the loss of my cherished friends, Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley. Reflecting on that time, I rediscovered the pure passion and exhilaration that drew me to radio in the first place. Amidst the chaos and challenges, we found endless moments of hilarity and camaraderie. Alongside Carl, Vic, and Sherrod Small, we shared unforgettable experiences both on and off the airwaves, our tight-knit bond shining through every episode. That year also marked Carl Ruiz's meteoric rise to stardom, inspiring me to launch the Opie Radio podcast with him. I'm immensely grateful to Erock, Clubsoda Kenny, Paul, and Louis for joining us on this wild ride. Get ready to dive into the rollercoaster of emotions—the highs, the lows, and the laugh-out-loud moments—that defined my last year in radio.
