Gary Janetti

Welcome to the theatrical podcast in which we ask a special guest the big, BIG question that nobody ever needed to ask. If there was a huge meteor hurtling toward Earth threatening to destroy life as we know it and you could see one more show before you die, what would it be? It can be anything you want. A show you’ve seen before, one that you wish you’d seen, or something you’ve made up entirely. What would be YOUR Last Show on Earth? Our guest this episode is Gary Janetti. Gary is a bestelling author, sitcom writer, actor, producer, TV personality and one of the creative forces behind TV mega hits Will and Grace and Family Guy. Gary talked to us in May 2022 just after the release of his second book Start Without Me (I'll Be There in a Minute) - the follow up to his first book Do You Mind If I Cancel? (Things That Still Annoy Me) which became a New York Times Bestseller. You can follow Gary on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/garyjanetti/?hl=en Gary is a very busy man and we only had an hour to chat to him therefore some of our usual items had to be dropped, so apologies for that - but it's still a very entertaining chat! Apologies also for the slightly annoying clcking noise that you might sometimes hear - some technical problems with Gary's microphone that were impossible to fix!
