Description

GGACP celebrates the birthday (September 2) of one of Gilbert and Frank's childhood heroes,
actor, comedian and showbiz historian CHUCK McCANN. In this ENCORE presentation of a
memorable interview from back in 2015, Chuck talks about worshipping (and befriending) Stan
Laurel, Buster Keaton and Groucho Marx (among others) and his unlikely journey from obsessed
movie buff to screen and stage performer and beloved kiddie show host. Also: Chuck hitches a
ride on Hugh Hefner's jet, inspires a young Billy Crystal, shares the screen with Rodney
Dangerfield and co-stars in a legendary TV flop. Plus: Hal Roach! Lionel Barrymore! Chuck and
Groucho pitch deodorant! Mae West "works" the docks! And Chuck asks Gilbert for a lollipop!
