Randy Hodgins and Steve McLellan’s lifelong love of comedy was kindled when they met more than 40 years ago in graduate school in Seattle. While managing family and professional work responsibilities, they hosted a one hour comedy radio program on Saturday mornings for 10 years on a small radio station in Olympia, WA and also co-authored two books on northwest popular culture – Seattle on Film (1995) and Wet and Wired (2000). Stuck at home during the early days of the pandemic with hundreds of comedy albums, cassettes and CD’s gathering dust on their shelves, they launched Laugh Tracks Legends of Comedy in May 2020, a weekly mini-program featuring a different comedy icon, with biographical bits and a nice slice of the comedy that made them famous. From standup stars, to stellar sketch teams, to novelty music maestros -- they are all part of our Legends.

Meet Gabe Kaplan, standup star, sitcom legend, and world-class professional poker player (!) in this miniprogram. Gabe mined his real-life high school experience for laughs early in his standup career and good thing because it led to the comedy classic "Welcome Back Kotter" in which Gabe returns as a teacher to his alma mater. It was a sweet gig and when it ended Gabe returned to standup and launched a new passion -- playing professional poker. With over $2 million in lifetime winnings we'd say he might have a future with the cards! As always, extended cuts are in the comments at laughtrackscomedy.com and thanks for sharing our shows!
