Jack Carter: A show business Zelig

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on December 9th, 2005

On the occasion of his guest shot on ER, Jack Carter is interviewed by TVGuide.com. In it, the comedian explains, among other things, how his feud with Woody Allen started:

He was one of the top writers on The Gary Moore Show, where I was a regular. One day I was on a panel with Mickey Rooney and some other people, and Woody was picking on Mickey unmercifully. I came to Mickey’s defense and attacked Woody Allen, and when we got back to Gary Moore he wrote me out of it quickly. We’ve been enemies ever since. He’s never thought of me for a role in any picture.
