Robin on "The Kelly Carlin Show"

source: New York Times
At a time when it seems that everyone and his brother has a show or podcast about comedians, Sirius XM believes it has found a new wrinkle on the format: a program hosted by Kelly Carlin, the daughter of the famous stand-up George Carlin.

On Thursday the satellite radio broadcaster is expected to announce that it will carry "The Kelly Carlin Show," a new monthly program on which Ms. Carlin will speak with comedy personalities about their work and their lives. The first installment, scheduled for Sunday, will feature an interview with Robin Williams and will be heard on Sirius XM's Raw Dog Comedy channel as well as a new channel, Carlin's Corner, that will focus on George Carlin's performances and material.

Sirius XM says:
Kelly and Robin Williams sat down in Kelly's hotel room in San Francisco during the SF Sketchfest.

For the first The Kelly Carlin Show they discussed Robin's schooling and how it led to his career in comedy and acting, his early years breaking into the comedy and acting scene (including how Mork & Mindy came about), working on The Richard Pryor Show, human spirituality, our new phone technology and the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar.

Premiering on Sunday, February 12 at 7 pm ET
