Hey, pals! There are few people in Hollywood who could top Norman Lear’s legendary career. The 95-year-old producer has been making television audiences laugh and think since the 1950s when he worked as a writer on Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis’s comedy show.

In the 1970s, Lear created a whole new type of T.V. sitcom with shows like “All In The Family,” “Sanford and Son,” “One Day At A Time,” “Maude” and “The Jeffersons.” These shows explored issues of race, gender, family and class (among other hot button topics) at a time when those were largely verboten in scripted television.

Over the years, Lear took a few career detours — namely, founding the advocacy organization People For The American Way and dropping $8 million on one of the original copies of the Declaration of Independence (so he could tour it around the U.S. and show people the document who had never seen it before).

But Lear never left television. In fact, he’s still creating. In 2017, a revamped “One Day At A Time” debuted on Netflix starring the inimitable Rita Moreno (fun fact: she’s one of only 12 people to win the coveted EGOT — winning Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards). And Lear’s about to pilot another show called “Guess Who Died” starring Holland Taylor.

Oh, and because that’s not enough for a man almost a century old, he also has a podcast. It’s called All Of The Above with Norman Lear. Check out our interview with him where we talk about reincarnation, the human condition and why he doesn’t watch T.V.
