In honor of tonight's ABC special presentation of Diff'rent Strokes + The Facts of Life, I'm re-airing my talk with Todd Bridges from last year.

Todd has been through the ringer. But he's come out OK. I won't bury the lead: He has 29 years clean and sober. We get into that, and I found out the hard way why he bristles at interviews.

You'll hear about:

• Where he is now
• Who he is now
• What he went up against
• Why he's media-averse
• His new HBO documentary, Showbiz Kids
• Diff'rent Strokes
• What you talkin about, Willis?
• Little House on the Prairie
• Roots
• Scott Baio
• Fame
• Black Lives Matter
• racism
• being targeted by the police
• emotional damage
• his experiences with sexual abuse
• how he rebounded
• how fake Hollywood can be
• his favorite TV shows
• my favorite TV shows
• family, kids and why he's a homebody
