The boots and dog tags I wore every day that we filmed MASH just sold at auction for $125,000 - all going to the Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook U. I'm very grateful. The Center is thrilled. And so am I.

Very much regret that recent promo copy for Clear + Vivid  inadvertently suggested that the pandemic is officially over. It’s only the national state of EMERGENCY that 's over. We can’t let up on fighting the pandemic—  that's why we invited the great Eric Topol back to our show.

It's never too late to observe Giving Day, if you're in the mood to help the Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook U help scientists to communicate better. It helps us all. Here's how, and thank you! givingday.stonybrook.edu/o/stony-brook-…

A nice piece in The NY Times about how I tried to coax a chatbot to write funny.

A New ‘M*A*S*H’ Scene: Written by ChatGPT, Read by Hawkeye and B.J. nytimes.com/2023/03/07/art…

Now on Clear + Vivid: Mike Farrell and I play a scene from MASH that was never on MASH because it was written last week by a ROBOT! Plus, I have a lot of fun interviewing chatbots. It’s a new world. Listen here:

Of all the creative and deeply moving birthday wishes I've received, this one from Liev Schreiber tops the list. Turn your sound on.

Mike Farrell and I today toasting the 50th anniversary of the show that changed our lives - and our brilliant pals who made it what it was. MASH was a great gift to us.

After 24 years they still make me laugh. Alfred Molina, Victor Garber and I reminisce about the first time we were on stage together. doing a play about friends drawing apart drew us together.

I had a charming conversation with Phillip Dettmer, a high school dropout who became so good at explaining difficult things that his videos have been downloaded over one and a half billion times. He’s amazing. Catch us on Clear+Vivid at alanalda.com
