Jimmy Brogan On Vicki Abelson's The Road Taken

Jimmy Brogan, consummate comedian, took us through the glory days of stand-up with Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Larry Miller, Carol Liefer, Dennis Wolfberg… what it took to make it his life. Connecting to Hillary Rollins, which connected him to her father, Jack Rollins, who fortuitously became his manager (other clients included Woody Allen, Robert Klein, Letterman,. Billy Crystal - not bad company) and changed his life. He did The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, who was already a fan of his, starred in the ABC sitcom Out of The Blue, where he also guested on Happy Days and Robin Williams kicked off his sitcom. He became closeasthis with Jay Leno, becoming his go-to guy, which landed him a gig on The Tonight Show, working with Jay and booking the comedians, becoming the power broker of TV funny. There was the standoff with Oprah, the battle of wills for a raise, the every Sunday night gigs at The Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach opening for Jay, which he’s done for 26 yrs through to present day. We had 2 degrees of separation all over the place. And, Louise and Jimmy have…. history. Informative, entertaining, fun. Great stories, great man, great life.
