Comedy History with Fred Willard & Mary Willard

Published: Oct. 9, 2017, 3:59 p.m.

Comedian and actor Fred Willard (Anchorman, Best In Show, Modern Family) and writer Mary Willard (Fernwood Tonight) have been married for almost 50 years - even after the many times they've worked together. They take a long trip down comedy memory lane, including how they first met, why Fred's sketch got no laughs on The Ed Sullivan Show, how he almost cast himself out of Fernwood Tonight, and why networking in the new age of online content is rather depressing. They also share which charities they support, and revisit their favorite scenes with the Christopher Guest family.
