Tom Selleck in conversation with Ted Danson at Live Talks Los Angeles discussing his memoir,
"You Never Know." The talk took place on May 19, 2026.

There are many miles from the business school and basketball court at the University of Southern California to 50 million viewers for the final episode of a TV show called Magnum P.I. Tom Selleck has lived every one of those miles in his own iconoclastic and joyful way.

Tom Selleck is an award-winning actor and producer best known for his iconic role as Thomas Magnum in the original Magnum P.I. television series. Among the many unforgettable roles he has played are PI Lance White on the Rockford Files, Peter Mitchell in Three Men and A Baby, Matthew Quigley in Quigley Down Under, and Peter Malloy in In & Out.

Ted Danson is an Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award-winning actor known for an array of exceptional performances, most memorably for his portrayal of Boston bartender Sam Malone on NBC’s multi-award winning and iconic comedy “Cheers.” More recently, Danson can be seen playing himself in the quintessential comedy “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” He also starred in the acclaimed NBC comedy “The Good Place” and “A Man on the Inside.” Among his film credits are “Three Men and a Baby” and “Saving Private Ryan.” Danson is an environmental activist who co-founded the American Oceans Campaign (AOC) in 1987 to alert Americans to the life-threatening hazards created by oil spills, off-shore development, toxic wastes, sewage pollution and other ocean abuses.

In Tom Selleck’s memoir,You Never Know, the star of Magnum P.I. and Blue Bloods shares his backstory—from the University of Southern California business school and basketball court to his co-star turn with Mae West and his recurring role as Monica’s boyfriend on Friends.

Selleck clears up an armload of misconceptions and shares dozens of never-told stories from all corners of his personal and professional life. He also shares what it was like to emerge as a mega-star in his mid-thirties— and how he adjusted his career to protect his family’s privacy and normalcy.

Tim Curry in conversation with Adam Felber at Live Talks Los Angeles discussing his memoir,"Vagabond." The event took place on October 26, 2025.

With the upcoming 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the 40th anniversary of Clue, there’s never been a better time for Tim to share his story with the world. Tim’s memoir, Vagabond, is a celebration of his life’s work, and a testament to his profound impact on the entertainment industry.

Tim Curry is an Emmy award-winning actor who’s worked in the entertainment industry for close to five decades. He is best known for his iconic roles in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Clue, It, The Pirates of Penzance, Spamalot, Hair, Home Alone 2, Muppet Treasure Island, and countless others.

Adam Felber is a writer, performer, and a regular panelist on NPR’s “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.” He spent 11 season’s on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” and has written several screenplays and books, including the recent “Confessions of a PuppetMaster” (HarperCollins). He’s the co-host of the long-running podcast “Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone,” and the director/co-writer of the new eco-comedy YouTube series, “Unf***ing the Planet.”

There are few stars in Hollywood today who can boast the resume Emmy that award-winning actor Tim Curry has built over the past five decades. From his breakout role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show to his critically acclaimed role as the original King Aurthur in both the Broadway and West End versions of Spamalot, Curry redefined what it meant to be a character actor as he portrayed heroes and villains alike with complexity, nuance, and a genuine understanding of human darkness.

In his rip-roaring memoir, Vagabond, Curry takes readers through his early beginnings as a military brat with difficult family dynamics, to his formative school years, to the moment when he hit the stage for the first time. He shares what it was like to work on some of the most best-known works of the 20th century. He also explores the voicework that has defined his career more recently, which provided him with a chance to pivot after surviving a catastrophic and nearly fatal stroke over a dozen years ago.
