Podcast: My Favorite Year (1982)

By Michele Wojciechowski on April 29, 2021

“Dying is easy…comedy is hard.” With those words, this episode of of the Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother Podcast dives into the 1982 comedy, My Favorite Year. Starring Peter O’Toole, in an Oscar-nominated performance, in which he plays Alan Swan, an Errol Flynn-type movie star who is a guest on “King Kaiser’s Comedy Cavalcade,” a 1950’s TV sketch show.

O’Toole shines in this light and breezy comedy. Will he do the show? Will Boss Rojack stop the broadcast? Will Benji Stone get the girl? Will Alan Swan stay sober? It sure was fun to find out. If you want to smile…this is the film.

The Film also stars: Mark Linn-Baker (Perfect Strangers), Jessica Harper (Minority Report), Joseph Bologna (Blame it on Rio), Bill Macy (Maude), Lainie Kazan (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Lou Jacobi (“It’s time to make the donuts”), Selma Diamond (Night Court), and Cameron Mitchell (recognizable character actor from numerous films and TV series).
