10 Years Ago, I Would've Host Saturday

My Work Is Just A Hobby. No, I Wouldn't Want To Do It Professionally. It's Too Hard. Deadlines Are No Fun. But I Can Sit And Tweak All Night And Not Worry About Time.

I Have Also Heard And Read Various Accounts Of Why They [sheldon Leonard And Carl Reiner] Liked Me. My Favorites? I Wasn't Too Good-looking, I Walked A Little Funny, And I Was Basically Kind Of Average And Ordinary. I Guess My Lack Of Perfection Turned Out To Be A Winning Hand. Let That Be A Lesson For Future Generations.

No, I Did Night Clubs Right Here In Los Angeles. My Partner, Phil Erickson, Put Me In The Business, A Guy From My Home Town, A Dear Friend Who We Just Lost A Couple Of Months Ago.

I Didn't Know The Answers, But I Could Feel That The Things That Gave Life Meaning Came From A Place Within And From The Nurturing Of Values Like Tolerance, Charity, And Community.

I Would Love To See Carl Reiner Working In The Arena Today. He Did Some Marvelous Things On Our Show In The Early '60s When It Was A Little Edgy. We Did Shows About Blacks, A Couple, Three Of Those. Some Thought-provoking Stuff.
