So instead we're going to do 93 years in 93 seconds or less. 　　You were born in New Hampshire. 　　Norman Lear: New Haven, Connecticut. 　　EH: New Haven, Connecticut. 　　NL: There goes seven more seconds. 　　EH: Nailed it. 　　You were born in New Haven, Connecticut. Your father was a con man -- I got that right. He was taken away to prison when you were nine years old. You flew 52 missions as a fighter pilot in World War II. You came back to -- 　　NL: Radio operator. 　　EH: You came to LA to break into Hollywood, first in publicity, then in TV. You had no training as a writer, formally, but you hustled your way in. Your breakthrough, your debut, was a little show called &All in the Family.& You followed that up with a string of hits that to this day is unmatched in Hollywood: &Sanford and Son,& &Maude,& &Good Times,& &The Jeffersons,& &One Day at a Time,& &Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,& to name literally a fraction of them. Not only are they all commercially -- 　　Not only are they all commercially successful, but many of them push our culture forward by giving the underrepresented members of society their first prime-time voice. You have seven shows in the top 10 at one time. At one point, you aggregate an audience of 120 million people per week watching your content. That's more than the audience for Super Bowl 50, which happens once a year. 　　NL: Holy shit. 　　EH: And we're not even to the holy shit part. 　　You land yourself on Richard Nixon's enemies list -- he had one. 　　That's an applause line, too. 　　You're inducted into the TV Hall of Fame on the first day that it exists. Then came the movies. &Fried Green Tomatoes,& &The Princess Bride,& &Stand By Me,& &This Is Spinal Tap.& 　　Again, just to name a fraction. 　　Then you wipe the slate clean, start a third act as a political activist focusing on protecting the First Amendment and the separation of church and state. You start People For The American Way. You buy the Declaration of Independence and give it back to the people. You stay active in both entertainment and politics until the ripe old of age of 93, when you write a book and make a documentary about your life story. And after all that, they finally think you're ready for a TED Talk. 　　NL: I love being here. And I love you for agreeing to do this. 　　EH: Thank you for asking. It's my honor. So here's my first question. Was your mother proud of you 　　NL: My mother ... what a place to start. Let me put it this way -- when I came back from the war, she showed me the letters that I had written her from overseas, and they were absolute love letters. 　　This really sums up my mother. They were love letters, as if I had written them to -- they were love letters. A year later I asked my mother if I could have them, because I'd like to keep them all the years of my life ... She had thrown them away. 　　That's my mother. 　　The best way I can sum it up in more recent times is -- this is also more recent times -- a number of years ago, when they started the Hall of Fame to which you referred. It was a Sunday morning, when I got a call from the fellow who ran the TV Academy of Arts & Sciences. He was calling me to tell me they had met all day yesterday and he was confidentially telling me they were going to start a hall of fame and these were the inductees. I started to say &Richard Nixon,& because Richard Nixon -- 　　EH: I don't think he was on their list. 　　NL: William Paley, who started CBS, David Sarnoff, who started NBC, Edward R. Murrow, the greatest of the foreign correspondents, Paddy Chayefsky -- I think the best writer that ever came out of television -- Milton Berle, Lucille Ball and me. 　　EH: Not bad. 　　NL: I call my mother immediately in Hartford, Connecticut. &Mom, this is what's happened, they're starting a hall of fame.& 　　I tell her the list of names and me, and she says, &Listen, if that's what they want to do, who am I to say& 　　That's my Ma. I think it earns that kind of a laugh because everybody has a piece of that mother. 　　EH: And the sitcom Jewish mother is born, right there. 　　So your father also played a large role in your life, mostly by his absence. 　　NL: Yeah. 　　EH: Tell us what happened when you were nine years old. 　　NL: He was flying to Oklahoma with three guys that my mother said, &I don't want you to have anything to do with them, I don't trust those men.& That's when I heard, maybe not for the first time, &Stifle yo
