099 — Robert Ben Garant: Reno 911! creator/actor; Michelangelo, TMNT Coming Out of Their Shells tour

In this episode, host Brian VanHooker welcomes the prolific actor, writer, director, creator Robert Ben Garant, best known for playing Junior on 'Reno 911!' (a show which he also co-created). For nine months, from 1990 to 1991, Robert Ben Garant was part of the advance team for the Pizza Hut-sponsored 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Coming Out of Their Shells' music tour. Dressed as Michelangelo, Garant visited schools, as well as radio and local TV programs, to promote the tour along with writer/actor/comedian Michael Ian Black (who played Raphael). During the interview, Garant recalls stories from his unique perspective of Turtle-Mania, including getting swarmed by children in Mexico and having to pretend-fight an old man on a local TV station in Puerto Rico.
