Life is such a sweet insanity.
I love life and people. This is a place where I can write down what's happening, what I'm thinking, what I'm seeing and what I'm feeling. After all, life is just one blog entry after another.Wednesday, March 02, 2005
Theeeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny!
So yesterday my father left a message on our answering machine. He and his girlfriend are vacationing in California and are having a great trip and be sure to tape Leno Tuesday night.
Tape it? Tape it? I TiVo'd it thank you very much.
I just took a peek at the opening segment and there's my dad and Karen in the audience looking like their having the time of their lives! I'm jealous! When Earl and I were in The Rosie O'Donnell Show audience back in 1997, the only thing you could see was the top of my shaved head and Earl's arm. But there's my dad and his girlfriend on Leno, plain as day. Oh well.
And yes, I was very clever in getting us tickets to see Rosie O'Donnell back when she had her talk show. Working for a radio station at the time, what better way to get in the audience then to make a huge contest of it and give away tickets to the show, with the winners to be accompanied by station personnel. And of course the station personnel was Earl and me.
Rosie's people didn't want to talk to my people, but then I sent her people a fax that said if someone didn't call me, I would announce the said fax number on the air.
Imagine my surprise when the announcement came over the intercom: "J.P., Rosie O'Donnell's office is on line 4.", a mere ten minutes after sending the fax. So we got to see Rosie O'Donnell. The guests that day were Andy Dick, Steve Winwood and Farrah Fawcett. In fact, it was the same day that Farrah had the meltdown on Letterman. She was pretty spacey with Rosie too. We didn't get to meet Rosie or anything though, she was too busy. And a little cranky during commercial breaks, but we won't go there.
I can't wait to hear about my dad's brush with Hollywood!
