Today Frank discusses what kind of general character he believes he could play well in any kind of production, then discusses a little about game show history and culture over many years. He asks questions like what happened to most of the morning game shows and why many are now on only at night and feel "darker".
He then gets in to a belated tribute to Bob Barker, the long-time host of The Price is Right who died recently at age 99. He credits Bob with "making" that show with his charm and sense of humor, and then Frank then envisions what his own success might look like in the arts non-monetarily.
Finally he does a review of Perfect People, a 1988 made-for-TV movie with PB and some other familiar names. It tackles the constant pursuit of health and a fountain of youth in western societies, when many people already have much more going for them than they might otherwise realize. So it has a terrific message in addition to its humor.
Perfect People is currently available on Amazon Prime Video as well as FreeVee, Tubi, and YouTube.
