Christopher Knight

from The Love Boat Podcast · host Fred Grandy, Ted Lange, and Jill Whelan

Christopher Knight joins Fred Grandy, Ted Lange, and Jill Whelan to share how a station wagon full of Tijuana terracotta pots nearly cost him the role of Peter Brady, and what it was really like growing up as a working child actor making the long drives to Paramount while keeping his family afloat. He reflects on Robert Reed's complicated relationship with Sherwood Schwartz, why The Brady Bunch became something closer to a national touchstone than a TV show, and how a physicist friend from high school eventually led him from tech pioneer to furniture mogul… and why Harry and Meghan's chairs set his phone ringing.
