Today’s special guest, Barry Williams, is one of the most instantly recognizable and beloved actors of our generation, who became known throughout the world as America’s most reliable big brother, “Greg” on the iconic TV show “The Brady Bunch”.
Although the original sitcom ended in 1974 after 5 seasons, “The Brady Bunch” has had phenomenal longevity and success. There were 7 different TV series, 2 full length feature films, 5 TV specials, a concert tour, 3 record albums, a stage play, a reality series, and countless Brady Bunch merchandising items and collectibles that are still very much in demand, especially the Brady Bunch lunch bucket. And get this: since its premiere on September 26, 1969, “The Brady Bunch” has NEVER been off the air. The show has been broadcast in almost every country on earth, and each of the original 117 episodes has aired over 100,000 times, and for many years it’s been the highest rated program EVER on Nick at Night.
But well beyond “The Brady Bunch”, our guest has had a long and impressive career as an actor, singer, musician, dancer and producer.
