In Part II of “Overweight Sensation” host TJ Savino interviews biographer Mark Cohen in San Francisco who unearths the painful irony: Alan Sherman’s love for his Jewish/Yiddish background and his want-to-be American parent’s contempt for it. Cohen explores Sherman’s Hollywood connection and a boost to fame given to him by Harpo Marx. Hear most of Sherman’s parodies plus host Savino’s own parody of the song “Alfie” into the hilarious (and partly true) “Selfie.” (May 26, 2016).
