Host Glass makes every moment of his interview count with comedy legends, Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams and David Zucker, the writers, directors, and producers of the comedy film classics “Airplane” and “Naked Gun,” among others. They talk backstory about the making of “Airplane” and their book on that exact subject, Surely, You Can’t Be Serious. They share how they recruited famous dramatic actors like Robert Stack, Peter Graves and Leslie Nielsen (and others) and talked them into doing the film (it’s all in the book). The comedic geniuses also talk about love and marriage. Jerry Zucker, tells David why he and his wife are still “happily” married after 37 years, while David Zucker and Jim Abrahams share how they are still friends with their exes.
