I will never think about Milton Berle the same way again.

Yes, I read that last year. Very good. And you get the dirt on all the early casts (recent casts all have to at least pretend to be clean because they are still marketing themselves off the show).
I didn't realize before exactly how hated Chevy Chase was by basically everyone he came in contact with.
