Q&A With Shadoe - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MA · 04-17-2018, 06:41 PM

I thought this would be the right time to post my Q&A session that happened with Shadoe earlier this year because it has a question related to Harry. Meant to do this a long time ago, but wanted to choose when it was best.

A few simple questions were asked to Shadoe, and will post all of them here.

So, here we go!

Note: Sorry if I use the word is instead of was for the Harry question. This happened back at the beginning of this year.

Question #1:

Q: What was it like working with Harry Anderson? Was he nice? Did he do any magic tricks?

A: Harry is (was) a wonderful charismatic person, very smart, and a very good magician. I spent four years working with him and enjoyed every minute. Yes, he did tricks all the time and he is (was) pretty amazing.

Question #2

Q: What was it like doing the announcing job on The Price Is Right?

A: LOUD! The audience is shockingly loud and more fun than anyone ever has in real life, ever. I couldn't stop smiling. And of course, I was doing it with my good friend Craig Ferguson, so it was twice as much fun.

Part 2 (the final part)

Question #3

Q: What was it like doing American Top 40? Did you get to meet Casey Kasem himself when you were doing it? Met any famous people along the way?

A: AT40 was a great pleasure and an extraordinary experience. It took me and my family all over the world. I knew Casey for many years before I ever took over the show. And after I left the show, his daughter Liberty grew up with my daughters Chyna and Amber, Also, of course I met many famous people... it was the biggest radio show in the world.

Question #4

Q: Do you still keep in touch with your co-stars from Dave's World?

A. I do keep in touch with Delane Matthews, J.C. Wendel, and Zane Carney. We are close friends with the Carneys... Zane has become a world-class guitarist recently touring with John Mayer... and his brother Reeve is one of the most talented musicians working today, also an actor, having starred as Spider-Man on Broadway for the past five years... The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Fox last year, and really worth checking out. Go on youtube to see some of his music. Meshach Taylor died a year or so again. I was also very close to him.

Final question:

Question #5

Q: Favorite Dave's World guest stars? Least favorite?

A: My very favorite guest star was Audrey Meadows... who I loved from the old Jackie Gleason Show when I was growing up. She played my mother. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsIP...eTQlw&index=22
