“Man with a Plan” Dad Stacy Keach on Matt LeBlanc, Career Longevity and “The Exorcist”

Actor Stacy Keach has been entertaining us for more than five decades, and for the last four of those, he’s been a fixture on Matt LeBlanc’s CBS comedy Man with a Plan, playing Joe Burns, father of the characters played by LeBlanc and co-star Kevin Nealon.  The series, which returned for a fourth season last Thursday, is providing some much-needed levity during our extended Coronavirus staycations, and Keach is thrilled to oblige.  “We were lucky that we wrapped [this] season before Christmas,” he told MediaVillage during an exclusive chat.  “We were originally disappointed to learn we’d be airing much later in the season, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise!  It’s great to be able to provide a little bit of a distraction for people, and right now we all need some laughs as a lot of people are having hard times.  We all need to come together and share a few laughs.
