I first met Carlo Imperato at the tech rehearsal for the 2015 Italian Reunion. He was so nice and friendly. After the dress rehearsal that night, when some fans went up on stage for the finale Carlo said to us as we left that tomorrow at the end of the concert he wanted us to go on stage too.
Meet Carlo at the Fame U.K. Reunion Convention on 11th September 2022 in Birmingham.
"In this episode, Dusty's father, the minister does not like what he sees at the school, but my personal experience was more shocking. When I chose to leave CSU and attend CalArts my father, who was the pastor of our church, helped me move into my dorm room. It faced an in-ground swimming pool. My father opened the shades to check it out and at that very moment a male student walked by with no clothes on. Yep. Naked!
That's when I found out, CalArts was a clothing-optional school. I froze and freaked out at the same time. I knew my father was going to make me pick up my bags and take them to the car because I was going right back home. Instead, he looked at me in a way I had never seen before and said, "You better keep your head in the books and your clothes on". You hear me?" While still holding my breath, I managed to say, "Yes sir!" Then we both busted out laughing. Such a great moment. Love you dad!"

"Friday night's gonna be all right,
It's gonna be right,
It's gonna be all right now baby.
Friday night's gonna be all right,
It's gonna be right,
It's gonna be all right now baby.
Start shaking your hips.
Baby pucker your lips.
Cause I'm coming to see you soon,
But don't put on your best dress,
It'll wind up a mess.
Don't even bother to make up your room.
Hey I'm tired of waiting for long distance
calls,
That perfumed letter didn't help much at
all.
When I pick up a pen I fall flat on my
face,
Like a long distance runner trying to win a
short race.
Without you I'm driving lost in a stare.
Without you I feel like I'm running scared.
Since you've gone I haven't bothered to
comb my hair,
On Friday night.
For Friday night's gonna be all right,
It's gonna be right,
It's gonna be all right now baby.
Friday night's gonna be all right,
It's gonna be right,
It's gonna be all right now baby.
Sure I'm a joker,
Sometimes even a clown,
But this time baby I'm not fooling around.
I'm coming to see you,
I'm coming real soon.
I'm packing my suitcase this afternoon.
Without you there ain't no romance left
Without you there ain't no mystery
Without you there ain't no romance left
On Friday night.
But Friday night's gonna be all right,
It's gonna be right,
It's gonna be all right now baby.
Friday night's gonna be all right,
It's gonna be right,
It's gonna be all right now baby.
Friday night's gonna be all right,
It's gonna be right,
It's gonna be all right now baby.
Friday night's gonna be all right,
It's gonna be right,
It's gonna be all right now baby.
Play that saxophone
Guitar now
Friday night
The Soundtrack is silent!
The movie rolls on,
There ain't no more love scenes,
The romance is gone.
It's a one man show,
It's moving real slow,
But it's picking up speed,
As I'm turning the key.
I'm comin' up
Comin' up
Comin' up
Comin' up
Comin' up
Hey, Friday night's gonna be all right,
It's gonna be right,
It's gonna be all right now baby.
Friday night's gonna be all right,
It's gonna be right,
It's gonna be all right now baby.
Friday night's gonna be all right,
It's gonna be right,
It's gonna be all right now baby.
Friday night's gonna be all right,
It's gonna be right,
It's gonna be all right now baby.
So get ready for Friday night!"

Michael Cerveris comments on working with Mike Preston on the season 6 episode "Pros and Cons":
"no one was more excited than I was to learn that Ian's dad was going to be played by Mike Preston from Mad Max 2: Road Warrior. The fact that his accent was Australian and mine was (faux) East London was either unnoticed or irrelevant. What mattered was that he was a great guy and I got to sing an old English music hall tune wiv the ol pot and pan.

Michael Cerveris talks about the Season 6 episode "Ian's Girl"
"the return of the eyeliner
But my proudest achievement though, was convincing our open minded producers that, rather than calling Central Casting to fill the punk club scene with extras as usual, they should instead let me go to Scream, the downtown LA club I frequented on a regular basis and fill the scene with authentic 1980s LA punks and goth kids. And so I did. Lots of kids in that scene watched the show because, airing early Saturday evenings and rebroadcast late Sunday afternoons, it was the perfect background tv for getting ready to go out or slowly beginning to get up after a night out. So enough people either knew me as a fellow club regular or recognized me from the show to believe the invitation to be on the show was legit. A lot of them had no phone number for a contact (this was pre cell phones, kids), and the days started way too early for the average musician or club kid, so I wasn't entirely sure on the morning of the shoot that I was going to pull it off. But the promise of some money and a day full of craft services combined with a chance to play themselves on tv was enticing enough that we had an great crowd and an unusually authentic feeling scene, at only minimal risk to the camera equipment and crew, and one of the most fun days I can remember on set. My co-conspirator and best friend Carrie Hamilton was in heaven, too, and ended up meeting her boyfriend of the next long while in Steve. It was a good day all around. Knowledgeable watchers can spot members of The Zeroes, Kommunity FK, my friend Kaptain (who was one of Guns and Roses' early pre fame drummers and did costumes for Troma and porn films), among the glam and punk scenesters pogoing and slam dancing in the crowd. I mostly beamed with pride."
