Chatting With Sherri welcomes back Gregg Openheimer!
GREGG OPPENHEIMER (Producer-Director), son of "I Love Lucy" creator-producer-head writer Jess Oppenheimer, got his start in comedy at the tender age of four when his father introduced him to Lucille Ball on the "I Love Lucy" set. Kneeling down, a smiling Lucy asked Gregg, "Where did you get those big brown eyes?" Gregg's deadpan reply: "They came with the face." Lucy nearly fell over laughing. In 1996, he left a successful law career in order to complete his late father's humorous memoir, "Laughs, Luck...and Lucy: How I Came to Create the Most Popular Sitcom of All Time" (Syracuse University Press). That book's success led Gregg's hit comedy play, "I Love Lucy: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Sitcom."
His latest project is SPERDVAC (The Society to Preserve & Encourage Radio Drama, Variety And Comedy) presents "Jack Benny Program" veterans Beverly Washburn, Stuffy Singer & Ivan Cury in Peg Lynch's comedy gem, "THE PRIVATE LIVES OF ETHEL & ALBERT" Written by Peg Lynch Produced and directed by Gregg Oppenheimer.
