TVC 628.5: Five-time Emmy Award-winning talk show host John Barbour talks to Ed about some of his heroes and mentors, including Redd Foxx, Dick Gregory, Earl "Fatha" Hines, and Jim Garrison, the Louisiana district attorney known for his investigation into the JFK assassination. John's latest film, John Barbour's and William Shakespeare's Last Word on the Murder of JFK, is a 90-minute docu-presentation that is essentially a one-man show in three acts, with Act I recounting John's efforts to allow Garrison to tell his story, in his own words, and John's efforts to start a scholarship at Tulane University in Garrison's memory; Act II revealing the one great disappointment in John's life; and Act III telling the poignant story of John's trip to Scotland in 1960, where, following a bittersweet reunion with his estranged father, John wins a residency with the Castle Theatre group in London and discovers the true meaning of Hamlet's soliloquy "To be or not to be." John Barbour's and William Shakespeare's Last Word on the Murder of JFK will have its world premiere at the Laemmle Town Center 5 in Encino, CA from Wednesday, Nov. 22 through Tuesday, Nov. 28.
