Jerry Eisenberg is a legend in the animation industry. His resume stems back to when he was 17 and working at MGM with Jack Nicholson. Jerry has an impressive resume! He created characters like Fangface and the Hair Bear Bunch, and he storyboarded the original Scooby-Doo series before it was officially Scooby Doo, Where Are You! . He also worked closely with other legends like Iwao Takamoto, Willie Ito, Jack Kirby and more.
Jerry had so many great stories to tell! We talked to Jerry for over 4 hours! The greatest thing is that he was just as excited to talk to us as we were to talk to him. He kept saying he was just getting warmed up and he wanted to talk more, also making a joke that he wanted his interview to be longer than Carlton’s haha. Raymonde had to come in and tell him to get off the call so he could eat dinner. Jerry even said he’d love to talk to us again and has since asked me when we are
going to do our next call. I cannot even express into words what an amazing feeling that is to us, having someone we admire actually want to keep the conversation going! I will eventually post the clip on Patreon from the episode that shows Wendy and my reactions after he leaves the call, so you’ll get more of an understanding of just how amazing it was for us.
Another highlight of this interview was Raymonde, Jerry’s wife, coming in and talking to us. She is amazing…and very funny! She gave Jerry some ideas of things to talk about, which turned out to be extremely funny stories! We are so thankful to her for giving us 4 hours with Jerry.
I’m so thankful to Wendy and Will for joining me on this interview. I feel like we make a great team!
I don’t want to give anything else away as it’s always better to hear it directly from our guests. We hope you enjoy the episode!
