AZ Spot Martin and Sandra

Featured on the November 14th, 2014 edition of ARIZONA SPOTLIGHT with host Mark McLemore:

  • Teenagers in need of adoption are often overlooked by prospective parents, but Fernanda Echavarri tells the story of a 15-year-old boy who officially became part of a family last week at an adoption event for children in the Pima County foster care system...

  • Actress and comedian Sandra Bernhard is known for her uncensored humor, and sharing bizarre stories about life in show business. In advance of her appearance at Tucson's Rialto Theater, Mark McLemore talks with Sandra Bernhard about raising her teenage daughter, and Bernhard's fond memories of growing up in Scottsdale in the late 1960s...

  • Martin Short loves making people laugh, and he's created a host of outrageous characters across four decades of film and TV appearances. He will perform many of his favorites at the Fox Tucson Theatre on Sunday. Mark McLemore asks Martin Short about the secret behind his energetic comedy, and gets some rare behind-the-scenes memories about SCTV, The Three Amigos and Father of the Bride...
