Sweet and Salty with Ellen Karis


Feb 25, 2020

One of our all time favorite people came in to the studio for the first time, Comedian, Actor, Writer and Ellen's mentor, Tommy Koenig. We had the absolute best time talking to Tommy about how a kid from Far Rockaway, Queens who wanted to be an actor, found his way to the start of the stand-up comedy boom. He filled us with stories about many famous comedians of today and what it was like to do comedy from the 70's-90's. We also talked about him being part of the TV Sitcom pilot scene, working with Sally Struthers and going against Tom Hanks for roles. There were so many anecdotes, that we have a Part 2 episode that will be released for the next show. We urge you to listen to this fascinating man, who also wrote a brilliant one person show called "Baby Boom Baby" which he has performed all over North and South America.  Find Tommy at his Facebook Page "Tommy Koenig Comedian" or his show website https://babyboombaby.net/
