132 – Behind the Scenes with special guest Karen Lieberman

Jeff & Ryan welcome the wonderful Karen Lieberman to MASH Matters! Karen was Executive Producer Burt Metcalfe’s right-hand gal through the first nine years of M*A*S*H’s run. She shares so many great stories about on-set pranks, guest star salaries, her baby’s gender reveal by Harry Morgan, and the Christmas gift from Burt Metcalfe that she still uses to this day. Plus, Karen tells us what it was like standing next to McLean Stevenson during the shooting of *that* scene… and why you should never order tuna on Fridays in the Fox commissary.
