This is funny... I was doing a broad search at IMDB hoping to find a pic of the actor from the Joe Coogan episode to post on the Male guest thread... and I ran across this. It's a real listing for someone named Joe Coogan whose solo credit is an appearance on an episode of "This is Your Life" honoring Carl Reiner. So there really was a Joe Coogan? I knew Jerry and Millie Helper were based on real people, but had different names.

Carl Reiner's friend Joe Coogan is mentioned briefly in his autobiography. He used several names of friends or family members for the characters on TDVDS.
