There was like I remember just, you know, listening.
I would never watch because it was late.
But I remember hearing Buddy Hackett and Don Rickles on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
I would sit at the top of the stairs where my parents couldn't see me and I would listen.
I could hear them laughing at comedians on TV.
So I think it rubbed off on me.
I was probably in my early 30s.
I would play poker there with Greg Fitzsimmons and Elon Gold, and they had a poker room, the George Burns poker room, where we could order lunch and play poker.
And then they had a billiards room, and then they had a steam room and a gym, and then they had a dining room where you might see Milton Berle or Buddy Hackett sitting under their own portrait.
Terry Gross has been around so long.
She interviewed Ed Sullivan.
Terry Gross, a barely living legend.
