Komack was also a divisive force on The Courtship of Eddie’s Father TV show. As producer Komack cast himself in a minor part that he wanted to extend to becoming an equal to Eddie’s father on the show. Bill Bixby who played Eddie’s father couldn’t stand working with Komack leading to an end to the show. ---

> [@Exapno\_Mapcase](#): > > Isn’t is mandatory now to mention Will Smith? I can actually contribute a personal anecdote here. My cousin is an actress and performer, mainly does one-person-shows and storytelling stuff. But the closest she ever came to Making It Big was a small speaking role in a Will Smith film. And she said he was great to work with. ---

> [@Exapno\_Mapcase](#): > > Isn’t is mandatory now to mention Will Smith? He had one epic live on air episode of bitchiness. Definitely an honorable mention, but not on the same level as performers who spent their entire careers doing it. ---

Steven Seagal is a bitch just for how he insists people say his name. ---

Around 20 years ago, I saw an interview with Sherwood Schwartz in which he talked about what an asshole Red Skelton was. I don’t remember the details, but either he or his brother, both of whom were writers on Skelton’s prime-time variety show, did something that pissed Red off. Skelton ordered that the Schwartz in question be fired and, when reminded that his brother was also on the payroll, said “Fire that sonuvabitch too!” ---

And Lebell choked Seagal out and made him crap his pants Or when he pushed John Leguizamo up against a wall and threaten to beat him up because he laughed when Seagal wanted the actors to treat him like he was their commanding officer when the cameras were off. Seagal’s martial prowess might be mostly fiction but at the time he was in good shape and worked out daily. He’s 6”4’ and Leguizamo is 5”7’. He should have been fired on the spot. ---

He got his babysitter pregnant years ago, and she had the baby at a hospital my sister worked at. She said he was a giant ass. Most celebrities were low key and nice, but he stood out for how awful he was. ---

So why did she have his baby if he was such an ass? ---

My sister thought he was an ass. I don’t know what the baby sitter thought. Plus, who knows what kind of coercion goes on in a household when you’re an employee. ---

I remember liking that show as a kid. Rewatching it decades later, it really sticks out how, on every episode, there’s a two- or three-minute segment that’s just Kaplan telling a moronic, dumbed-down joke. Every episode!!
