Nick D – Stephen Tobolowsky, Amazing Stories, and Dog Poop

Nick welcomes the incredible actor and amazing storyteller Stephen Tobolowsky back to the podcast to chat about his upcoming appearance in Chicago to celebrate the movie “Groundhog Day” (in which he plays Needlenose Ned Ryerson!) and the great Harold Ramis. Tobo also remembers the legendary Norman Lear with personal stories about working with the television icon (including an absolutely beautiful story about spending a very special Yom Kippur with Norman) and how his work, along with Ramis’, changed the entertainment world as we know it. Stephen also has time to talk about working with Christopher Nolan, getting kneed in the nuts by Bridget Fonda, and playing “Porn Clerk” opposite O.J. Simpson. Then, Esmeralda Leon and Nick have fun talking about dogs, dog-poop bag dispensers, feeding pets, and how being cold in Chicago is actually no big deal. [Ep212]
