honest look at these actors and icons that we never really get to see."
Backed by rock & roll piano man Ben Folds, William Shatner takes the stage

LIVING IN TV LAND: ADAM WEST
In this episode of LIVING IN TV LAND, Adam West faces a nemesis he can´t
drop with a resounding POW! TV Land cameras follow his appearance on a top-
rated morning show, where he meets TV and radio personality Ralph Garman,
one of Adam´s biggest fans. When Ralph shows Adam his genuine Batman cowl,
Adam pegs it for a knock-off. Ralph is crushed - until Adam mentions he has
an authentic cowl at his home in Idaho. When Ralph asks Adam if he would try
on the real cowl and pose for a picture, Adam refuses. But superfan Ralph
knows that Adam West never turns down a challenge. So he throws down the
gauntlet, challenging Adam to any contest the Batman star chooses. Adam, an
expert angler, chooses a fly-fishing competition, and Ralph chooses the
location. From the moment the contest is set, Adam is obsessed, whether he´s
doing voice work for THE FAMILY GUY or visiting the Batmobile and his most
famous "Catwoman," Julie Newmar. Even the tranquility of his home in Sun
Valley, Idaho is thrown off by a needling phone call from Ralph claiming
he´s found a fishing hole that´s sure to give him a "home field advantage."

Joseph Kearns was born in Utah but his family moved to California when he was very young. There must have been a fondness in his heart for the state as he graduated from the University of Utah years later. Mr. Kearns was a very versital actor in radio having appeared on Suspense as a regular and on such comedies as Burns and Allen and The Jack Benny Show. On Jack Benny he was the guard who was stationed at Mr. Benny's secret vault. The jokes were that Jack kept him there so long that he was not up on current events. When Jack told him the war was over he was reffering to World War II. Joseph ask him who won? The North or the South?He thought Jack ment the Civil War. He was in many movies such as "The Girl Most Likely",the Jimmy Stewart movie "Anatomy of a Murder" and had an uncredited voice over in another Jimmy Stewart movie. It was as the voice of an Angel in the Christmas favorite "It's A Wonderful Life." During all this time he was not quite famous. Then, as it did for alot of charactor actors, television gave him is most famous role of Mr. Wilson on the show Dennis The Menace. Saddly he passed away too early at the age of 55 in 1962 of a cerebral hemorrhage. This, combined with the star Jay North was getting older, spelled the end for the series. They tried to keep going with Gale Gordon as Mr. Wilson but by 1963 the show was canceled. Gale Gordon went on to "The Lucy Show."
