"Talk About It!" with Greg Grunberg

Meet My Mensch! With Jonathan Shapiro


Listen Later

Everybody needs a Jonathan Shapiro in their life. In this special season premiere of Talk About It, Greg sits down with his closest mensch and the other half of his party of two at the deli, Jonathan Shapiro. When life gets hard, Greg turns to him for sage advice and a nice bowl of matzoh ball soup. As you'll find out in this episode, Jonathan has quite a personal history, beginning his career as a federal prosecutor and eventually becoming... you guessed it... a television show writer and showrunner. (BOSTON LEGAL, THE PRACTICE, GOLIATH, THE BLACKLIST, among many others.)

Not only that, Jonathan has a deep personal connection to Greg because he is also the father of a son with epilepsy, the incredible Zeke Shapiro. The two mensches talk about Zeke's journey with his condition, and his abject bravery to perform stand up comedy and become a news anchor. They have always - and will continue to - lean on each other when times are really hard, or celebrate together when times are really great, and everything in between. All over a tuna melt on rye heels, of course. You don't want to miss this episode!
