Michael Learned Set for THEATRE CHAT, 11/13

Tune in this Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at 12:35 PM (ET) to join in the celebration with "Mr. Showbusiness" on Jimmy Ferraro's THEATRE CHAT AND THIS 'N THAT, broadcasting live on WWJB -- regionally and nationally on the world wide web:www.wwjb.com/pages/4395150.php. This week's guest is Emmy-winning actress Michael Learned.

Learned is not only one of televisions most recognized moms as Olivia Walton, from the televison classic "THE WALTONS", but has become a Four-time EMMY Winner and Golden Globe nominee, who has never been out of work since. In addition to her TV and stage work, she recently and temporarily stepped into the role of Katherine Chancellor on the highly rated daytime drama, The Young & the Restless. Learned's familiarity with the daytime schedule, having appeared on General Hospital and All My Children made her an obvious choice. Michael just completed production of "The Outgoing Tide" in New York and is preparing to tour with "Driving Miss Daizy". aAnd a special guest... "THE LAST, FIRST COMIC" 100 year old IRVING BENSON.

At age 100, comic Irving Benson stands alone as the oldest living link to an uniquely American art form - Burlesque.

For more than half a century, Irv was a "first comic." He was the contemporary of great funny-men like Abbott & Costello, Red Skelton, Phil Silvers, and Jackie Gleason.
