Ed Asner returns for his third appearance guest-hosting the nationally syndicated Animal Radio® show

(Animal Radio® Newsroom July 07, 2010) Actor Ed Asner may always play the role of a curmudgeonly old man, but when it comes to his cats, he’s anything but surly. Asner returns for his third appearance guest-hosting the nationally syndicated Animal Radio® show July 17th on 99 AM-FM stations and XM Satellite Radio.

When asked why he has never had dogs as part of the family, Asner replies, "In my peripatetic life it's much easier to live with cats. They don't commit Harry Caray in my absence."

"My cat 'Weezy' sleeps on top of my head, " says Asner, "sometimes I can't breath." His other cat is Archie.

Ed Asner is set to co-star opposite Tom Arnold in a new sitcom on CMT called Regular Joe. The show was remodeled from an ABC show of the same name. Ed says he feels good about the pilot.
