Listen to early memories from Andy's first audience member - his little sister, Carol. The shows that Andy put on for her - and, later, for the neighborhood kids as a birthday entertainer - would shape his career as an adult and help form a truly original concept - kids' entertainment for grownups.
We'll also explore Andy's love for Thanksgiving, his annual trips with his family to Coney Island, and what he would almost certainly have achieved had he lived past 35.
This episode also features more never-before-heard stories from Michael Kaufman (Andy's brother), Mimi Lambert (romantic interest), and Gil Gevins (childhood friend).
