BJ talks with Ed about his highlights over 9 decades in Hollywood and those Moments from Mary Tyler Moore Show and Lou Grant.

Ed Asner, seven-time Emmy®-winning actor affectionately known as Lou Grant and UP's Carl Fredricksen, is turning 90 years old and Hollywood came out to roast and celebrate this special milestone. Highly acclaimed artists Mark Hamill (Star Wars franchise), Cloris Leachman (Spanglish, The Last Picture Show), Brad Garret (Everybody Loves Raymond, Single Parents), Ed Begley Jr. (Ghostbusters, Pineapple Express), Rob Schneider (Grown Ups, Saturday Night Live) and Richard Kind (Argo, Inside Out) were among those who roasted the legendary actor at the Ed Asner 90th Birthday Party on November 3, 2019 at The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The evening, hosted by Tom Bergeron, benefitted the new Ed Asner Family Center, dedicated to fulfilling Asner's passion and commitment to promoting mental health and enrichment programs to special needs children and their families. Over 400 entertainment executives, celebrities, industry influencers, autism advocates, community and civic leaders and philanthropists came together to celebrate.
"What a night!" said Ed Asner, who has won the most performance awards in the history of Primetime Emmy Awards. "90 years. A milestone I never thought I would make. You know what they say… 90 is the new 80. I have seen so much in my life. Because of some very lucky breaks I was able to create a career for myself that I am immensely proud of. From JJ Peachum in Three Penny Opera, to Mary Tyler Moore and Lou Grant, to the latest shows that I have been lucky enough to be cast in. Tonight, to be lovingly raked over the coals by such a list of luminaries is something for the ages. And to be treated to some of the greatest musical talent around from my friends Darius Rucker, Steve Lukather and Jackson Browne was top notch. I am proud of what we are offering with The Ed Asner Family Center. I am humbled by the response and support everyone has given."
The gala also offered an exclusive silent and live auction, as well as a spirited "Fund-A-Mission" auction where guests had the opportunity to support special The Ed Asner Family Center initiatives, including summer camp for kids with autism and other programs for the community. Parent Shelby Landucci gave a heartfelt description of parenting her autistic daughter Zoe. Renée Frigo served as the Event Chair and Dwight Kennedy as the Director/Music Producer & Writer.
The evening spotlighted Asner's tireless efforts to create The Ed Asner Family Center founded by his son Matt and daughter-in-law Navah Paskowitz-Asner. A longtime advocate for those on the autistic spectrum, Asner personally understands the challenges that Special Needs families face with his own autistic son and grandson, and the healing power of a creative, loving environment.
