This week, we welcome a very special guest into the Labyrinth: the brilliantly funny, razor-sharp, and endlessly insightful Frank Santopadre!
Frank’s name may not be as well known as some of the legends he’s worked with, but you’ve definitely laughed at something he’s written. From MAD Magazine to The View, from Topps trading cards to the Kennedy Center Honors, Frank has spent his career writing for—and about—the biggest names in comedy, entertainment, and old-school showbiz.
He was the longtime co-creator and co-host of Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast, a true oral history of Hollywood's golden age. Now, Frank returns with a brand-new podcast: Fun For All Ages, a nostalgia-fueled celebration of 20th-century pop culture—from classic toys and cartoons to the stars and stories behind the screen.
In this episode, we talk with Frank about:
* The origins and legacy of the Amazing Colossal Podcast
* What he learned from working with Gilbert Gottfried
* His encyclopedic love of TV credits, novelty candy, and forgotten pop culture gems
* His new show Fun For All Ages, and what makes it special for anyone who grew up glued to the tube
*
It’s a funny, fascinating, and heartfelt chat with a guy who’s truly been there, written that, and still keeps the spirit of vintage entertainment alive.
🎧 Come for the Gilbert stories, stay for the Garbage Pail trivia.
