96 – Celebrating Larry Gelbart with special guest Dan Harrison

In this special episode, we pay tribute to the man who gave us TV’s M*A*S*H – hall of fame writer, director, and producer Larry Gelbart! Jeff & Ryan are joined by Larry’s close friend, Dan Harrison, to celebrate Mr. Gelbart’s life and legacy. We discuss the teenage fan letter that led to a lifelong friendship, Larry’s generosity and gentle humor, his illustrious career, and Karen Valentine’s coconut balls!
