TV Reunions, Tabloids, and Truths with William Keck

From his days hiding in the bushes at celebrity parties to orchestrating beloved TV cast reunions, William Keck has done it all.

 

In this discussion, the Emmy-nominated producer and tabloid veteran returns to share more behind-the-scenes stories from his wildly entertaining memoir "When You Step Upon a Star." Keck opens up about the emotional impact of his reunion specials, his time at the National Enquirer, and the magic (and mayhem) of bringing TV families back together decades later. Whether you loved Happy Days, The Love Boat, Gilligan’s Island, or The Waltons, this conversation is a nostalgic goldmine.

Episode Highlights:

• How reunions for shows like Happy Days and The Waltons came to life
• Behind-the-scenes secrets from Gilligan’s Island, Dynasty, and The Brady Bunch casts
• The emotional toll (and joy) of helping cast members reconnect for the final time
