Bill Boggs, Spike the Wonder Dog, and a Slice of Blueberry Pie

TVC 498.1: Ed welcomes four-time Emmy Award-winning talk show host, producer, author and entrepreneur Bill Boggs (Midday Live, My Generation, Bill Boggs Corner Table, Comedy Tonight, The Morton Downey Jr. Show). Bill's latest book, The Adventures of Spike the Wonder Dog, is a comic novel loosely based on Bill's TV career that also satirizes today's media and political culture. With many of us still sheltered in place for the foreseeable future, and looking for ways to escaping the COVID-19 news cycle, The Adventures of Spike the Wonder Dog may provide some welcome laughs. Proceeds from the sales of Bill's book will support animal rescue organizations. Topics this segment include a look at Bill's early career as a comedy writer (during which time he met and managed the careers of Jay Tarses and Tom Patchett, two of the creative forces behind The Bob Newhart Show) and a important life lesson that Bill learned from his dad after a mishap involving a slice of blueberry pie.
