Added: Sep 14, 2011
Author: ThisWeekIn
Duration: 55:2
Description:
This show had everything, the very funny Merrill Davis telling us not only that she is a "too nice Southern Baptist Jew", but also how she was informally adopted by Ed McMahon and his wife. Then I asked singer/songwriter Oded Gross to play one of the worst songs he's ever written and he busted out "The Monogamous Hippopotamus" followed by a brilliant song that purposefully didn't rhyme. That's more than enough for most people, but this isn't a show about most people....so my friend; writer/actor/comedian Fred Raker checked in from San Francisco and shared a small part of his new one-man show "How To Make Your Bitterness Work For You." Nobody does it bitter or better than Fred in this show; he is truly the Carly Simon of bitterness.0:00-0:30: Opening credits0:30-6:55:Ed's monologue. He talks about the great show we're about to watch. Ed talks about the many games he plays with his daughter, and other stories from his past.6:55-12:02: Ed introduces his guest, Merrill Davis.
