- Jamie Farr: (on his Walk of Fame star) My star is in front of the Merv Griffin theater. It burned down, and my star is at the entryway of a Bed, Bath and Beyond. That street at one time was really great, that NBC and radio station was across the street, and the CBS radio station was there. They had beautiful restaurants before, but now everything has changed.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jamie Farr: At this point, you may have noticed something about me. I'm a guy who could only make it in this difficult business by being totally professional, suppressing outbursts of ego, being a good team player, learning my lines and sticking to the script.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jamie Farr: Television has taken the charm out of comedy and the romance out of love. They just get right to it now. I loved Frasier. I liked Seinfeld, but I am not a Two and a Half Men person.
