E183 Human Russ Woody‘s book Tuesdays With Ted is the true account of his father Woody’s battle with the deadly disease ALS, while Russ was writing for the hit show Becker (starring Ted Danson). Russ also authored Effed! and The Wheel of Nuldoid, AND he’s an Emmy- and Golden Globe-award-winning television writer (Murphy Brown and Cybill, respectively), producer and teacher of aspiring writers. Armed with a dark sense of humor, he’s a brilliant wordsmith, and has penned shows for Soap, Benson, Parenthood, Valerie, Mad About You, Fantasy Island, Newhart, St. Elsewhere and a pile of other hits. His upcoming book is about Hannibal Hamlin (Abraham Lincoln’s Vice President). We cover a lot of ground in this episode – airplanes be damned.
