TV Guide

Um, I, I had, uh, the good fortune to talk to both of them years ago.

I was working for TV Guide Canada, and, um, I remember, uh, Rose Marie, and Buddy...

Actually, I was at Walt Disney World.

They did a...

... and they, and we spread the show to new, new viewers, that, that's even better.

It, uh, here's a little aside on that.

Um, again, when I started at TV Guide Canada, the very first, first or second interview I did on the phone was with Hal Roach, the man who produced the Laurel and Hardy shorts and all kinds of the, our Ra- Little Rascals and films like that, Harold Lloyd.

And he was a man in his 90s.

I'm your host, Bill Brioux.

Back in January of 1996, when I was writing for a little magazine called TV Guide Canada, I did a cover story on a young Canadian actress then making a name for herself on North America's number one series, ER.

Her name is Gloria Reuben, born in Toronto and raised in London, Ontario.

When I reached her then by phone in Los Angeles, she had to interrupt the call to go to the door and accept a bottle of champagne sent from then NBC West Coast President Don Ohlmeyer.

It was great catching up, but the crazy thing is it felt like we had kept in touch the whole time.

Please welcome the very present Gloria Reuben.

Listen, it's a real pleasure to see you and talk to you, and I don't know if you'll remember, but I talked to you for this, for this, uh, cover story of TV Guide Canada.

Um, uh, Gloria, it was 30 years ago, and it was, uh, obviously for ER.
