Our guest this week has worked in television, film, and theater. He’s been nominated for two WGA Awards for Best Comedy Writing for his work on The Golden Girls and Roseanne, was a writer and producer on Gilmore Girls, co-wrote the Brady Bunch movies, and so much more.We welcome Stan Zimmerman to the show to talk about how he was running a television network from his bedroom at age 10, his experiences writing for both The Golden Girls and Roseanne, Gilmore Girls fandom, meeting Priscilla Presley and possibly the ghost of Elvis too! This was a great conversation with many great stories. Stan’s new book, The Girls: From Golden to Gilmore is the story of Stan Zimmerman, a gawky Jewish boy who dreamed of becoming a wildly successful actor, rich enough to build his own mansion in the Hollywood Hills. While the actor part didn't quite pan out, Stan found success as a writer, producer, director, and playwright, working on such shows as The Golden Girls, Roseanne, and Gilmore Girls.Accompanied by journal entries, The Girls details Stan's relationships with some of entertainment's most notable women, including Roseanne Barr, Lily Tomlin, Sandra Bernhard, Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel, and, of course, all four Golden Girls. The Girls: From Golden to Gilmore is a candid, funny, and sometimes poignant testimony about how a young boy turned his dream into reality.The Girls: From Golden to Gilmore comes out February 13th, but is available for pre-order NOW!
