Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Jason Stuart, prolific film and TV character actor (MY WIFE & KIDS, GIA, HANK, BIRTH OF A NATION) and one of the first openly gay stand-up comedians, on the tenacity and work ethic he inherited from his immigrant parents; his thought process when he creates a new stand-up routine; appearing on THE DATING GAME at the height of its fame (and why Jim Lange was the perfect host for that show); and the impact that watching THAT CERTAIN SUMMER had on Jason when it originally aired in 1972. SHUT UP, I’M TALKING: Coming Out in Hollywood and Making It to the Middle, a very funny and often poignant look at Jason’s life and career, is now available in softcover and as an eBook through CCB Publishing

Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Leslie Bertram Crane on her career working behind the scenes in network television, both in production and post-production. Leslie spent more than a decade in variety television, not only on weekly series but high profile specials and such live events as the Jerry Lewis telethon and two Oscarcasts, before becoming as a “switcher” on such top shows as Friends, The Drew Carey Show, and Murphy Brown. She’ll tell you what a “switcher” does, plus she’ll give you an idea of just how many plates are spinning behind the camera of most variety TV shows. Our conversation will air in a few weeks. Leslie is also co-author, along with her husband Robert Crane, of Burn The Ice, a book that details the adventures of two bartenders in L.A.
