  2. This is actually the whole documentary and it was put together for The Charles Grodin Show. Although, the segment producer that made it is around, and presumably has the uncut copies of all the interviews.

  3. haha, my respect for you and your just completing interviewing Dick Cavett and Larry Storch, keeps me from mentioning that you said that uncut footage exists.

  4. Unsurprisingly, one keeps encountering differing stories about whose was larger, Tucker's or Berle's. I think comedians tend to side with Berle and actors with Tucker, although that might just be my imagination. Probably the funniest thing Howard Stern ever did was have ringers call in, one after another, during a radio interview he was conducting with Berle, each one inquiring about his endowment, much to Berle's mounting annoyance.
