At long last, we are releasing Part 2 of our discussion with the legendary performer and Frank Sinatra’s favorite comedian, Tom Dreesen. Be sure to listen to the end to hear Tom’s brilliant advice and philosophies on life!

Tom has been in show business for over 50 years. He’s a stand-up comedian, an actor, writer, and motivational speaker. Tom has made over 500 TV appearances including The Tonight Show more than 60 times! Known as ‘the man who made Sinatra laugh,’ Tom opened for Frank Sinatra for an incredible twelve years. He’s a favorite of David Letterman and even guest hosted for him. A legend from the start, Tom began his career with actor Tim Reid (of WKRP fame) when they formed the groundbreaking inter-racial comedy duo Tim & Tom well ahead of their time in the 1970s.

Tom Dreesen is a man filled with infectious gratitude and joy, and you will surely be inspired hearing his heartwarming and powerful stories. This week, Tom talks about his humble childhood, discovering his real father, his determination to overcome a life-threatening illness, and shares wonderful stories about his career in comedy all along the way. And this is only the first of two installations of Mark and Lowell’s fascinating and entertaining conversation with Tom.

Tom’s fabulous autobiography is available on Amazon:

And check out Tom’s book with Tim Reid telling the story of their days touring as the first interracial comedy duo:
