Meet Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara -- "Stiller and Meara" -- in this miniprogram. From their debut with Chicago's Compass Players (the predecessor to the Second City) back in 1961, Stiller and Meara racked up several hit albums, countless appearances on tv talk and variety shows, fine individual roles on top sitcoms, and late career reunion projects. And they did it while staying happily married for over 60 years -- not too shabby! As always, find extended cuts in the comments at laughtracksradio.com and thanks for sharing our shows.

Stiller and Meara

Randy Hodgins and Steve McLellan’s lifelong love of comedy was kindled when they met more than 40 years ago in graduate school in Seattle.  While managing family and professional work responsibilities, they hosted a one hour comedy radio program on Saturday mornings for 10 years on a small radio station in Olympia, WA and also co-authored two books on northwest popular culture – Seattle on Film (1995) and Wet and Wired (2000).  Stuck at home during the early days of the pandemic with hundreds of comedy albums, cassettes and CD’s gathering dust on their shelves, they launched Laugh Tracks Legends of Comedy in May 2020, a weekly mini-program featuring a different comedy icon, with biographical bits and a nice slice of the comedy that made them famous. From standup stars, to stellar sketch teams, to novelty music maestros -- they are all part of our Legends.
