Joe Bev.'s in there somewhere too... Stan Freberg (born Stanley Friberg August 7, 1926) is an American author, recording artist, animation voice actor, comedian, radio personality, puppeteer and advertising creative director, whose career began in 1944. He is still active in the industry in his mid-80s, nearly 70 years after entering it. Comedy-O-Rama "Camp Waterlogg: Ask Dimitri" Comedian-actor-writer Rick Overton will make a guest appearance on The Comedy-O-Rama Hour. "What an honor to have Rick on our radio show this week. Listeners are in for something special," says Comedy-O-Rama creator/performer Joe Bevilacqua (Joe Bev.). Rick Overton and Joe Bev first met while performing the New Jersey college circuit in 1979 and shared the bill at New York's Improvisation in the early 1980s. Overton has been seen in many movies and TV shows, including "Seinfeld," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," and "Mrs. Doubtfire.' He won an Emmy for writing "The Dennis Miller Show." On the show, Rick Overton plays Dimitri, a Russian mobster visiting the fictional camp. There is also a parody of the B-52s song "Rock Lobster," installments of "The Adventures of Teaman" and "Willoughby and the Professor" and more. Bevilacqua and his Lorie Kellogg voice 99% of the character voices on and improvised 50% of "Camp Waterlogg!" The audiobook includes rare interviews with Alan Reed himself, an interview with Joe Barbera, and clips from Reed's radio, TV, and film career, including The Fred Allen Show, The Shadow, The Life of Riley, Life with Luigi, Duffy's Tavern, The Postman Always Rings Twice, Viva Zapata, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and The Flintstones. What the Critics Say: "Alan Reed, the voice of Fred, is no longer with us, but Joe's done his damnedest to bring him back in a five-hour, six minute audio book called 'Yabba Dabba Doo!: The Alan Reed Story.'" Don Yowp, yowpyowp.blogspot.com) Also, on the hour, a new installment of Scenes from the Daws Butler Workshop, in which Joe Bev presents scripts written by his mentor, the voice of Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Elroy Jetson, Cap'n Crunch and other cartoon characters. "Daws was a prolific writer and he fashioned these wonderful serious scripts, not cartoony," says Bev, who together with his wife Lorie Kellogg performs two Daws Butler scripts on this week's show: "Godot, Not Home (Revisted)" (a parody of Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot") and "My Brunch with A" (A takeoff on Wallace Shawn's "My Dinner with Andre").
