Previously on The Tony Kornheiser Show.
We'll get him on this show in a couple of weeks. I wanted to put him on next week, but I found out last night that he's going to California next week to do more book stuff. Good for him. Absolutely.
Michael and I always talk, if you knew him, you would root for him. He's fuzzy. It's hard not to like him. What you hope is the success of this book will help him break out of his shell, give him a little bit more self-confidence.
Yeah, the confidence thing, hopefully...
The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now.
That was about Luke Russert. We will get to Luke Russert in a minute. There's a couple of other things to start with, though. First of all, today is May 11th. That's 5-11. That's Steve Spurrier Day. Not very good. Not very good, but not the worst. Some people were worse than us, so at least we got that.
But you have to be, when you say the date, you have to look at it as almost like, I've never seen him, I didn't know.
5-11.
I thought maybe it was still 5-10. 5-11.
Could be the 12th. Steve Spurrier Day. I talked about cookies the other day, and they came late, and I wasn't able to help the people who had the particular group day to raise money for people. Anyway, this comes from Stephanie Wright, who is the co-founder and the executive director of Together We Bake, which is where I got the cookies from that were great, by the way. I hope you're well. We were so intrigued to hear your podcast, your wonderful shout out to Act for Alexandria and Spring to Action and the Saga of the Cookies. We now know it all went down, how it all went down, and we would love to send you some fresh treats. Also, Together We Bake is having our annual fundraiser next week. We'd love to invite you to attend as our guest.
Now, there is no chance. I mean, I don't do that, but it's nice to get invited. She doesn't know me well enough to understand that I don't do that. TWB's sixth annual Empowerment Breakfast will be held on Thursday, May 18th. That's this coming Thursday from 8 to 10 a.m. at the Westin in Alexandria. The Empowerment Breakfast is an inspiring community event, and together we bake the largest fundraiser of the year, enabling us to reduce barriers to employment for underserved women. It is also a powerful celebration of the resilience and strength of our alumni community and an opportunity to share impact and plans for the future. Please share the correct address to ship the treats when you have a chance.
Yeah, Bonnie, just send it to Bonnie. Anyway, it's the Empowerment Breakfast. It's next Thursday, 8 to 10 a.m. at the Westin Hotel in Alexandria. So last night or, yeah, last evening, I went and Nigel went as well to the Luke Russert book party. And this was at Luke's mom's house. Maureen Orth, who, as Luke correctly states, is the writer in the family. I mean, Maureen is a great writer. And, you know, there were people there. There were people there whose faces I recognized. And, you know, and this is because Luke worked at NBC. Yeah. So he's got a bunch of friends at NBC. Now, there were some people I recognized from ESPN because Luke was our intern, our famous intern who at one point just left ESPN. Left for the last three or four weeks of the internship.
Got to go to the vineyard. I got to go to the vineyard and hang out with John Kerry. Okay. You know, that's when I knew I loved Luke.
Right.
Because he had no regard for the internship whatsoever. So, so you look around and I mean, I hadn't seen, I hadn't seen Matawano in a while and hadn't seen Megan in a while. Bonnie was there. Eric Wright home was there. I was very happy. And we have a picture. We took a picture of ourselves from the PTI show with Luke right in the middle. Luke's book, and Maureen said this last night, Luke's book is going to debut this Sunday on the New York Times bestseller list. That's the list. You know, there are a lot of lists. But believe me, when you're a writer, that's the list. It's going to debut at number three. Yeah. That's fantastic. Yeah. It's just fantastic. It really is. Yeah.
