Peri Gilpin from "Frasier"

This is STILL HERE HOLLYWOOD. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me, with today’s guest, and one of the stars of “Home Improvement”, Debbe Dunning.

In the 1990’s television was in its heyday… The bulk of shows were still on the four broadcast networks. No streaming yet. Some cable. It was great.

One show on ABC catapulted some of its early stars into worldwide superstardom. One went to “Infinity and beyond”. Another went to the beach.

But when a cast changes on a TV hit, the show obviously, must sill go on.

There was one actor who perfectly filled the shoes and tool belt of the previous star in order to help keep the show on the air for years.

This is Still Here Hollywood. I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me with today’s guest, and one of the stars of “Wings”, Steven Weber.

One of the biggest phrases ever dreamed up in the TV marketing world, was “Must See TV”.

In the 90’s, NBC and “Must See TV” became destination television for the entire country on Thursday nights. There was Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier, ER… And another show that was perfectly cast, about a tiny airline in Nantucket, run by two witty and engaging brothers. That show was “Wings”.

This is Still Here Hollywood, I’m Steve Kmetko. Join me and today’s guest from Frasier, Peri Gilpin.

Strong, independent, women in TV comedies have always been a hallmark of the genre. Dishing out laughs, while solving problems with wisecracks, is comedy gold.

For 11 seasons, starting in 1993, there was one woman on NBC who perfectly sliced and diced the punchlines with her sharp tongued delivery.

This is Part 2 of Steve Kmetko's chat with Brian Dunkleman who has a lot to say about his experience at American Idol...One of the biggest television shows of the last generation is American Idol. It's the singing talent show that helped define reality TV launching stars like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Jennifer Hudson. If you look back through the history of the show you'll find that in the beginning the iconic series had two hosts, Ryan Seacrest and Brian Dunkleman. One host went on to become a TV mogul. The other, at one point,  ended up driving an Uber. You guess which is which...
