Well, it's me, Joe Frank, and this is my last show here on KCRW. And what I'd like to do is to take the opportunity during this fund drive this evening to feature the work of some of the really wonderful actors who participated in creating this program over the years.

Last Show is a program Joe Frank produced as part of the series Somewhere Out There.
