Fred Stoller Behaves Himself

FRED STOLLER BEHAVES

Comedian and Bestselling Author Fred Stoller controls his temper no matter how much David Feldman pokes and prods him. Steve Skrovan, director of “An Unreasonable Man” and Will Ryan also join us. Fred Stoller published a successful e-book titled My Seinfeld Year, in which he chronicled his experiences after being hired as a new staff writer. He has since released a book titled Maybe We’ll Have You Back: The Life of a Perennial TV Guest Star. Stoller has been a stand-up comedian in nightclubs since the early 1980s at the time of his first television appearance, in 1987, when he appeared on Stand-Up America and later on The Young Comedians Special alongside six other comedians.
He is best known for his frequent appearances as Gerard on the CBS sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, Mr. Lowe in Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide and as Sheldon Singer, the son of Harold Gould’s deli-owning character, on the short-lived sitcom Singer & Sons. He has also made guest appearances on several other TV series. He wrote two episodes of Seinfeld (“The Soup” and the Kramer/chimpanzee subplot of “The Face Painter”). Stoller is also known as the voices of Stanley in the Open Season franchise, Rusty the Wrench on Handy Manny and Fred the Squirrel in The Penguins of Madagascar.

Alison Wolf

Alison Wolf is author of the new book, “The XX Factor: How Working Women Are Creating A New Society.” The New York Times writes, “In short, with ‘The XX Factor’ Wolf accomplishes a rare feat: She combines real breadth with real depth. No matter how much you think you know about this hotly debated subject, and whether or not you agree with every one of Wolf’s ideas, you will come away from her book with new information — some merely amusing, but some foundation-shaking.” In her introduction Professor Wolf writes, “For most of history, being female defined the limits of a woman’s achievements. But now, women are successful careerists equal to men. In Norway, women legally must constitute a third of all boards; in America, women have gone from 3% of practising lawyers in 1970 to 40% today, and over half of all law students. These changes are revolutionary – but not universal: the ‘sisterhood’ of working women is deeply divided. Making enormous strides in the workplace are young, educated, full-time professionals who have put children on hold. But for a second group of women this is unattainable: instead, they work part-time, earn less, are concentrated in heavily feminised occupations like cleaning and gain income and self-worth from having children young. As these two groups move ever further apart, shared gender no longer automatically creates interests in common with other women. The XX Factor lifts the curtain on these social, cultural and economic schisms.”
