Rico says he noted the similarity of names between
Eddie and
Sergey Mitrofanovich Gorodetsky, and had to look 'em up:
Eddie Gorodetsky is a television writer and producer. His credits include Desert Bus, Mom, Two and a Half Men, Dharma & Greg, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Mike & Molly, Saturday Night Live, SCTV Network 90, and Late Night with David Letterman. He has been nominated for six Emmy Awards, winning one.
He has made Christmas compilations for over twenty years, which he sends to friends and family, featuring rare and obscure songs from a variety of genres. He released one commercially in the early 1990s: Christmas Party with Eddie G.
He also produced Bob Dylan's weekly radio series, Theme Time Radio Hour, and appeared in Paul Provenza and Penn Jillette's documentary, The Aristocrats.
Gorodetsky co-created Mom, a series on CBS that premiered in 2013.
Sergey Mitrofanovich Gorodetsky, born 17 January 1884, died 8 June 1967, was a Russian poet, one of the founders (together with Nikolay Gumilev) of the Guild of Poets. Born in Saint Petersburg, he died in Obninsk.
Gorodetsky entered the literary scene as a Symbolist, developing friendships with Blok, Ivanov, and Briusov. Following his brief stint with the Symbolists, Gorodetsky began to associate with younger poets, forming the Acmeist group with Gumilev, Akhmatova, and Mandelshtam. Subsequently abandoning yet another group, he welcomed the Bolshevik revolution as a Soviet poet.
