I taped the interview and just watched it. I did not see or hear any previous mention that this was a repeat, but it sure seemed like it was. First off, Larry mentioned that "The Thing About My Parents" "is now playing at selected theatres and soon at theatres across the country". The movie has in fact been playing in "wide release" for a few weeks now. Also, there were no phone calls from viewers or submitted questions from email.

The interview was mostly concerned with the movie with a bit of questioning on Reiser's "Mad About You" TV show and Falk's "Columbo". Peter Falk mentioned a scene from an unfilmed Columbo script in which Larry King would have appeared. Falk mentioned that Columbo even got to sit in Larry's chair. Apparently a woman appearing on Larry King's show, walks off stage after the interview and makes a phone call to another woman back in Los Angeles. Four minutes later, that woman in LA is dead. For reasons unexplained by Falk, Columbo later follows a trail back to Larry King's studio (it's in New York city, isn't it???) to question Larry about his guest.

Falk also mentioned being barred from the Universal lot prior to the very first Columbo episode. I'm not certain if that refers to "Prescription" or "By The Book". Larry also talked about how Falk wasn't appreciated by studio bigwigs because he demanded perfection on the episodes.

Larry asked if there would be more "Columbo" episodes and as to why it had ended. It seemed to me (and it seemed to seem to Peter Falk) that Larry was unaware of the latest episode(s) of "Columbo". Peter said that the last one ("Nightlife") was filmed only a couple years ago. Larry suggested that new episodes could feature a "retired" Columbo being called back for a case or Columbo being the Chief of police tackling a case. Peter said Columbo could just simply still be a cop on the force.

Clips from a couple of "Columbo" episodes were shown, including "Death Lends a Hand" and an extended clip of "Murder By The Book" with Columbo talking with Ken Franklin (Jack Cassidy) about his opening his mail after discovering his partner's dead body.

Larry asked Peter about his future projects, and Peter mentioned "Retirement" (four old friends on a road trip to Las Vegas) and "Checking Out" which is based on a 1970s play.
