From busboy at a summer resort at the Catskills Mountains to headlining the famed destination that gave rise to legends like Jerry Lewis, Danny Kaye, Ben Stiller and so many more. A legend and inspiration to countless comedians, Robert Klein crafted his skill and took his place as one of our lifetime's most original and prolific comedians.

My guest, Robert Klein, and I discuss:

• The rise and fall of the Catskills Mountains
• Robert's documentary 'Still Can't Stop His Leg'
• The documentary Robert narrated, 'When Comedy Went To School'
• Roberts inspirations: Lenny Bruce and Jonathan Winters

• His life-changing time at Second City Chicago w/Fred Willard and David Steinberg
• Robert's acting career on TV: Shows that he became part of and the ones he missed out on
• His comedy teacher: Rodney Dangerfield
• Being a Broadway Star with an emphasis on They're Playing our Song with Lucille Arnez.
