“And at the beginning of the show she hands him the book, and Jack spends the entire show remembering 30 years of the show. It’s pretty powerful,” says Bergman. On the Abbott family breakfasts, he shares, “They are that fun. The difficulty when we get taping is not laughing… There have been some food fights.” Adds Bergman,, “From the day I moved to the head of the table, I’m in charge of these people. These people are my keep, the people I look after, and it’s a very personal thing… It’s been an amazing ride.”
