He credits his father as an inspiration who taught him firsthand about the busi- ness. "I learned so much from watching him work," Fogel said. In the future, Fogel would like to host a music video show while continuing to DJ on the radio. "I had a TV program in Washington for six months, where I hosted a music video show on Saturday after- noons. It was just a lot of fun." And having fun is Fogel's DJ philosophy. "I believe in having as much fun as possible. I think people can actually hear when you're having fun," he said. "I just goof off, act hyper and say what people don't expect to hear." When Fogel interviews music celebrities on the air, he doesn't ask who will pro- duce their next albums. In- stead, his questions address what kind of cars they drive and how much money they have in their pockets. "Jermaine Jackson was by far the wealthiest person I've interviewed," and the "I just goof off, act hyper and say what people don't expect to hear." award for the weirdest group goes to "The B-52s. They were a lot of fun, but they're strange. They spend all of their money on used clothes," he said. His favorite interviews were with pop singers Huey Lewis and Dino. "Dino was just in two weeks ago, open- ing at the Palace for those crazy knucklehead bundles of talent, New Kids on the Block," Fogel said. "He is really in to weight training, so we talked about how he works out with weights on the road. He is just a neat guy." Fogel's radio-broadcasting style is a bit different from his father's; his father,he says, is "too smooth and se- rious on the air, but a very responsible broadcaster." "As I grew up, my dad begged me not to go into the (radio) business, but I wouldn't listen," Fogel said. "Now, he's proud of me." ❑ When Billy Crystal Meets Bubble On Midnight nain To Moscow MICHAEL ELKIN Special to The Jewish News W hen Billy met Bubbie... That's the jocular gist of Billy Crystal's latest HBO special "Midnight Train to Moscow," in which the comedian and film star of When Harry Met Sally tracks down his Jewish ancestry. The special, which aired this past October, was filled with jokesnost, a mix of perestroika and punchlines. And, as the comedian notes during his train ride to the past, it is a sobering return to the original Borsht Belt. Crystal, whose popularity as a comedian soared some seasons back when he parlayed a regular spot as the smarmy Fernando on "Saturday Night Live" into a national sensa- tion, looks just chudesny —Russian for "marvelous" — performing on stage at the Pushkin Theatre, where he in- troduces Soviet audiences to a cast of characters at once haimish and hilarious. Billy Crystal in the USSR The fact that Crystal is among the first major American comedians to debut on a Soviet stage is not so surprising. He has always been at the vanguard — and he has always shown a sincere interest in his Jewish roots. It is clear, says Crystal in an interview, how important his own grandparents were in his life. Indeed, Crystal's octogenarian Jewish character of Julius is based on the comic's own zayda. "When I was younger," says Crystal, "I used to spend a lot of time with him. He had such a wonderful sense of humor," which, he says, came from years on the Yiddish vaude- ville circuit. Early on, Crystal got his own chance to practice pun- chlines on a patient au- dience. "I used to perform at the family Passover get- togethers," he says. "We used to have 35 or 40 people. I'll tell you, those were bigger crowds than I had the first two years of my career." He has made up for those relatively small audiences since. A welcome guest on "Late Night With David Letterman" as well as a re- peat performer at clubs in Atlantic City, Crystal has made his move in the movies recently, landing The Princess Bride and the most recent When Harry Met Sal- ly. He has met an occasional failure along the way. Memories of Me, co-starring Alan King, was an unmemorable movie about the blistering battles bet- ween a father and son trying
