[broadcast20081]

Joel Brooks showed up in "Three's Company" as Dr. Prescott, whoa!!!!! what a sexy man!!! bright smile, schemy sight, hairy chest!!! I was just a kid feeling inrigued. This was the first man I felt sexual atraction to.

[stillthechampionnn]

i mean...what about the highly successful "STIR CRAZY" ??? he was a hilarious lawyer in that movie! i just wanna' know what it was liking working with the Legendary Richard Pryor & Gene Wilder Comedy Money Making Machine.

[zachhoran]

Joel Brooks was a regular on $25K/$100K Pyramid and Super Password in the 80s.

and one of several celebs that frequently appeared on another '80s Bob Stewart game show in "Double Talk" as well.

last night unwinding from work and was watching an old episode of deep space nine and who should be the guest star Joel Brooks. Move Along Home which aired 3/14/1993 in the first season. I kept looking the actor and thought he looks familiar and then it hit me....FRIEND FRIDAY....loved it

[kfag101]

I loved you on L.A LAW

[rextrek]

very good vid...I remember him from One Day at a Time..too....u 2 make a good team.

[SamHarrisCOM]

Jesus!! One day - ONE DAY - I don't put product in my hair and it's a freakin' hair discussion panel!!! This is not a style change - it was just laziness. I didn't even get it cut! But thank you for all the young comments - particularly the one saying it's nice that I can be friends with the older generation -- I know Joel appreciates that. Ha!

[sekydsined]

SAM, or WEBMASTER !!! How can I get you a sound clip (mp3?) that I really want you to hear and evaluate (it's not me). Some GREAT female singers. Tell me how to send it to you. Thanx, Dennis

[Billydude9]

Sam....whats with the H'do? Getting hair fashion tips from Ant?

[firefare]

There ya' go. In the 1980's, I was in L.A. on business and saw Peter Marshall in a production of "Carousel." The production was done 'in the round' which was quite odd for a show like that. He was very good as I remember. Love Friend Fridays. :)

[griffmom]

Such a great friend Friday!! I feel like I've seen Joel possibly more than any other actor around, ESPECIALLY after seeing his resume!! Sam you are too cute! Love the last question which I know you also asked Bridgette and I'm pretty sure Bill too which is akin to "enough about me, so what do you think of me?" such a great moment and they always laugh wonderfully Can I just say this video made a bummer of a day a littler brighter? <3 <3 Griffmom

[regamom3]

Fabulous!!! Sam your friend friday's rock!!!

[CapricornArtist73]

Joel i don't like Honey wagons either! Brilliant as usual Sammy and the hair is sweet!

[DNBursky]

I remember Joel as Mrs. Garrett's son various times on "Facts of Life." He ever reprised the role for the reunion movie that aired in 2001. He's everywhere. :)

[Judi74]

Great interview, as usual. Thanks! And your hair looks great, Sam, but I miss the blond highlights. Toss some of those in and we're good to go. Hey, I'd love you bald, Sam. Honest! Have a great day. ~Judi~

[onepeacenow]

Joel is a cutie! Sam, your hair! I'm getting used to it. Retro, yet boyish. Your face - perfection!

[klgard1963]

what a sweetheart

[1DRock37167]

Poor Yao-Man!

Love the casual doo, it looks great on you. Joel was a delight, you should have him back for another FF and let him tell all the dirt on you. Great to see Emma again, she is the perfect closer for the show.

D

[mindya12]

Ha!! I love Joel! He's a great actor in everything he's done. You guys have chemistry. I had to laugh out loud several times. Sam you look 20 years old with your hair that way. Cuteness.

[Kjazzinphx]

Here in Arizona we have a lot of these Red Hat Ladies that go out to lunch in herds wearing red hats. When I see them I am reminded of Joel as a Hat Sister in a movie called something like Not so Fabulous Life of Ethan Greene.

[VLPRESL]

sam, i didn't want this to end!! first of all, you know lucie arnaz too???!! wow! (loved seeing lucy fan grace again). i remember joel on three's company so well. he played dr. prescott 2 times, didn't he?? i recall crissy's toy giraff in the one where they won a lot of money and they went to dr. prescott because they kept fighting about the way they were spending the money. sooo funny!! this was truly a treat! by the way, my favorite on survivor is ozzie.love him. who's your fav? - vicki

[VLPRESL]

ok sam. i'm going to say this,with the risk of getting a "thumbs down"(or more)!! lol. i much prefer your other hair style. the "spiked" look, with a bit of blond highlights is my favorite. am i in the doghouse?? - vicki

[IndigoStormFox]

I love Joel ...he is one of the most versatile actors of the 21st century. Thank you for this Sam...maybe you both should look into doing a show together...I am sure it would be a hit. much admiration for you both.

[SamHarrisCOM]

AND the 20th Century too. A two century actor.
