The Best of Ed Asner on TVC, Part 4

From October 2020: Ed, Tony, and Donna welcome back Ed Asner, the eight-time Emmy Award-winning actor known around the world as Lou Grant both on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and his own hour-long spinoff series, Lou Grant. The 2020-2021 television marks the fiftieth anniversary of the premiere of the Moore show and, by extension, the Lou Grant character. Ed Asner’s memoir, Son of a Junkman: My Life from the West Bottoms of Kansas City to the Bright Lights of Hollywood, not only pays tribute to each of his cast members on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, but reveals the persons on whom he based his portrayal of Lou Grant. Ed Asner passed away on Sunday, Aug. 29 at age ninety-one. Want to advertise/sponsor our show?
