Jim Mahoney

Legendary publicist and Friar Jim Mahoney joins Joe Sibilia to discuss his book "Get Mahoney!: A Hollywood Insider's Memoir" about his unparalleled PR career, his start in public relations at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the 1940s working with Clark Gable, how he came to represent Friar Frank Sinatra for 15 years, why he never watched the Rat Pack shows while he was with the group in Las Vegas, why Sinatra didn't appear on a television special with fellow Friar and client Bob Hope, and working on the recovery effort of Frank Sinatra Jr. after his kidnapping in 1963. Plus, Jim talks about saving Friar and client Johnny Carson from a barroom brawl while filming "Johnny Goes Home" in the 1980s, being hit in an altercation with client Judy Garland, his first encounter with his friend and fellow Friar Don Rickles, the condition under which Jim would work with Friar Jack Carter, dealing with Friar and client Joey Bishop, staying at Friar and client Paul Anka's house, and Jim's son and fellow publicist Sean jumps in to talk about booking Friar Bob Newhart on David Letterman's talk show!

Special thanks to Sean Mahoney, Marilee Mahoney, and Monica Mahoney-Adler!
