Phil and Ted's Sexy Boomer Show

Neal Israel is a producer, writer, director for over 20 feature films and co-creator of the hit movie series, THE POLICE ACADEMY. He co-wrote and directed BACHELOR PARTY starring Tom Hanks and was Executive Producer for the Oscar nominated FINDING NEVERLAND starring Johnny Depp. He wrote an original book musical for Ringo Starr on NBC, and produced and was head writer for several Steve Martin specials.

Neal broke new ground in the 70’s with the comedy movies, Tunnelvision and Americathon, that was based on a stage show created by Phil Proctor and his comedy partner, Peter Bergman that remarkably foretold the future of television.

Neal discusses how the 70’s defined boomer comedy, and how it changed the course of entertainment. He shares fascinating and hilarious Hollywood insider stories ranging from how he got a movie green-lit in the bed of a studio head, to playing Monopoly with Brad Pitt for a month inside a Scientology sauna, and all for the love of women.
