Speaker 2: Our number two of Nightside has begun and under three
Speaker 2: hours in ticking of twenty twenty four, roll out the
Speaker 2: red carpet for twenty twenty five. I've known this gentleman
Speaker 2: for decades. Decades, that's ten years at a time, plural,
Speaker 2: and he has worked on two, if not three radio
Speaker 2: stations in the greater Boston market. He was a winner
Speaker 2: and inducted into the Broadcasters Hall of Fame. He came
Speaker 2: from New York, but don't hold that against him, because
Speaker 2: he adjusted to the Boston sports team and put the Yankee.
Speaker 2: He's in a proper position behind the Red Sox. And
Speaker 2: I am so proud to be able to call him
Speaker 2: a good friend. Ken Myers is here and he and
Speaker 2: I have a game for you to join us and play.
Speaker 2: Happy New Year and good evening, Ken, Happy.
Speaker 3: New Year, Morgan. This is and this is not the
Speaker 3: first New Year's Eve that you and I have spent together.
Speaker 2: No, it isn't, No, it isn't, And who knows we
Speaker 2: might do it again.
Speaker 3: We'll have to wait a whole year to find out.
Speaker 2: Good Lord willing, Well, we'll find out roughly eleven months
Speaker 2: from now. So yeah, let me explain my game and
Speaker 2: why I've chosen you to help me play it. And
Speaker 2: you're inspirational. You have been inducted into the Hall of Fame,
Speaker 2: the New England Broadcasters Hall of Fame, and that was
Speaker 2: what five six years ago.
Speaker 3: Yep, I was twenty eleven, and I still can't believe it.
Speaker 3: I still can't believe it. I you know, I listened
Speaker 3: to you, and I listened to Dan Ray and like
Speaker 3: and hear you do interviews with Roger Dakowitz. I don't
Speaker 3: have a broken leg, but it's just like one, no
Speaker 3: no thing. I know where I can get one.
Speaker 4: Though.
Speaker 3: It's just unbelievable when I sit back and think about it,
Speaker 3: because at the time I was doing it, I had
Speaker 3: absolutely no idea or like anything like that would happen.
Speaker 3: It was a job that I loved and I look
Speaker 3: forward to coming into BZ every night to go to
Speaker 3: work and even in the daytime and to meet the
Speaker 3: celebrity guests that we were able to meet or talk
Speaker 3: to on the phone. And I look back at it
Speaker 3: now and just say, wow, wow, yeah, Mercy, Yeah, I
Speaker 3: had him on. As a matter of fact, the night
Speaker 3: that the Red Sox unfortunately lost to the Yankees in
Speaker 3: the seventy eight playoff Game one game playoff. I was
Speaker 3: good friends with net at the time, and I called
Speaker 3: him and said, I was doing calling all sports on
Speaker 3: Saturday nights, and I said, you know, can you come
Speaker 3: in and be with me for a couple of hours.
Speaker 3: I didn't think he would do it, but he did it,
Speaker 3: and he was very brave. And as a matter of fact,
Speaker 3: a columnist from Philadelphia was in Syracuse at the time
Speaker 3: and heard the broadcast and the Phillies were looking for
Speaker 3: our broadcaster at the time, and he went on a
Speaker 3: one man campaign to try and get them to hire
Speaker 3: Ned Martin because I because I had him on the air.
Speaker 3: But Ned was a very dear friend of mine. I
Speaker 3: miss him to this day. But he was very nice
Speaker 3: to me, and you know, I had a chance to
Speaker 3: sit with him in the broadcast booth and it was
Speaker 3: something that I'll always remember.
Speaker 2: Well. As I said, your induction into the Hall of
Speaker 2: Fame made me come up with a Hall of Fame
Speaker 2: of TV actors. And when you say actors, it incorporates
Speaker 2: both sexes actors and actresses.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: And I had to come up with some parameters, just
Speaker 2: couldn't put everybody in, so they had to be prime time.
Speaker 2: They had to have the TV series on in primetime,
Speaker 2: which back in the day began at seven point thirty
Speaker 2: it's now eight o'clock to eleven. And they had to
Speaker 2: have at least ten years. So there were some guarantees.
Speaker 2: James Arnest twenty years of playing Matt Dillon guaranteed.
Speaker 3: He's in, Yeah, or.
Speaker 2: Any of the cast the major cast of Big Bang
Speaker 2: Theory to put in a current currently known TV series,
Speaker 2: but in between then gun Smoke and now twenty twenty
Speaker 2: four twenty twenty five TV series, I came up with
Speaker 2: twenty five names of people who count, and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: do war. You didn't have more two hours ago.
Speaker 3: Well it was two hours ago. I got struck by
Speaker 3: Magic Yeah.
Speaker 2: Because I said I've got twenty five, and he said, well,
Speaker 2: I don't have that many, And in two hours you
Speaker 2: came up with that. You you you Kenjamin you.
Speaker 3: All right, hang on one second, let me say this here. Okay, okay, Raymond.
Speaker 2: Burr he counts because Perry Mason ran nine years and
Speaker 2: Ironside ran seven to eight. So that's easily adding up
Speaker 2: to ten plus Carol O'Connor. Carol O'Connor counts with the
Speaker 2: all in the Family, Archie Bunker series plural and in
Speaker 2: the Heat of the Night Chuck Connors I have, as
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, I have all three of these names,
Speaker 2: and Chuck Corner's counts. Uh. Do you know the answers

Speaker 15: Oh see, I didn't know you had to know that.
Speaker 15: I didn't know it was about an act I thought
Speaker 15: it was more about the show.
Speaker 2: And you know why Saturday Night like Saturday Night Live
Speaker 2: would not count because they tell you in the name
Speaker 2: of it not ready for primetime players. They have to
Speaker 2: be a primetime actor or actress.
Speaker 15: Okay, primetime all right? Modern Family, Uh, Julie, Julie Bowen
Speaker 15: was in that the whole time. Sophia Viagara ed O'Neill,
Speaker 15: So okay, that's that was that ran from, I think
Speaker 15: to all.
Speaker 2: Of those all of those counts. Let me mentioned O'Neill
Speaker 2: earlier because.
Speaker 11: Of Family show. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 15: like twelve, and he I think that Ransom So it was.
Speaker 2: Like that had eight seasons.
Speaker 11: Yeah, eight seasons, right, and.
Speaker 2: Mike Corners had several.
Speaker 3: It was Lucille Ball that kept that show on the
Speaker 3: air during the first and towards the end of the
Speaker 3: first season, they wanted to get rid of it, and
Speaker 3: Lucy said no because they owned the show. It was
Speaker 3: a Desilo production.
Speaker 11: You know, the ratings were really high, but the network
Speaker 11: in the studio had some disagreement.
Speaker 15: I remember that.
Speaker 3: So yeah, well Lucy owned it and she she took
Speaker 3: care of the disagreement.
Speaker 11: It's awesome, Okay, Well, yeah, I remember him. I loved
Speaker 11: him and Colombo.
Speaker 2: He counts because the original Columbo were in eight years.
Speaker 2: Then they brought it back for another couple of seasons
Speaker 2: after it had officially been canceled, and he had a
Speaker 2: TV series before Colombo called The Trials of O'Brien.
Speaker 11: Okay, so that's why Peter a lot of years on
Speaker 11: that show.
Speaker 15: Thought in a movie too.
Speaker 2: Right, movies The Brinks Job in Boston. It was filmed
Speaker 2: in Boston. He was in that movie. He's starting in
Speaker 2: that movie.
Speaker 3: And we had him. We had him on the air
Speaker 3: when they were filming it. Oh wow, matter of fact,
Speaker 3: so I got a chance to talk to Colombo. That's
Speaker 3: great that he was.
Speaker 11: That was a great show. They don't have things like
Speaker 11: that anymore. And I was gonna say, this is gonna
Speaker 11: sound nuts, I guess, because there seems to be about
Speaker 11: series like The Bachelor. It was only two thousand children
Speaker 11: now and it doesn't have a star except you know,
Speaker 11: but Rock is Oprah.

Speaker 2: And let me respond to something you said, friends.
Speaker 11: Did I say friends? Jeff Aniston?
Speaker 2: Uh, that would count. The whole cast would count.
Speaker 11: Yeah, right right, I have to check the name quick.
Speaker 2: You said, they don't make him like that anymore. And
Speaker 2: I disagree the TV series Monk want so many elements
Speaker 2: of Colombo in it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I just feel like maybe it's because when I was younger,
Speaker 11: But again, I mean in the night a lets say
Speaker 11: eighties nineties, there were just seeming so there were so
Speaker 11: many shows I just liked, you know, to go in
