According to an article in The Hudson Reporter (which you can find on
Google News)), Joe Franklin signed off from WOR in New York due to
health reasons. Michael McKean and Billy Crystal called in. If you saw
"This Is Spinal Tap" on DVD, you saw a clip of the band appearing on
Franklin's old TV talk show. McKean is in that segment along with Harry
Shearer and Christopher Guest. Crystal impersonated Franklin during his
SNL stint. Franklin is seen in "Gigantic: A Tale Of Two Johns," which
features Michael and Annette O'Toole, his Oscar-nominated better half.
