Catherine O'Hara
It was so worth getting up at 4:00am to go to Brooklyn to work with the lovely Catherine O'Hara
She is as funny as you would think. We laughed all day.
Loved her in "Best of Show" & she crushed it on "Schitt's Creek".
If walls could talk :)
Sir Paul McCartney
It’s always a good day when I’m with Sir Paul :)
We did an interview this week that will air next month or April… It’s a secret :)
Paul has so much energy, one would never know he is 78 !
To work with Paul is such a pleasure. He hand picks his crew and all the people around him and I’m honored to be in his circle.
I can’t even describe how down to earth Paul and his lovely wife Nancy are.
The beard is growing on me :) No matter what he remains humble.
Life is good !

John Turturro with "Desus & Mero"
The moment I walked to the backroom dressing rooms, I had the biggest smile on face ..
They have these the laugh especially Mero (Joel Martinez) that is so contagious your belly hurts :)
I was hired to to John Torturro as he has joined the cast. How cool is that??
He’s REALLY FUNNY!!! John had me laughing so hard . On set they had to cut so many times because people couldn’t keep a straight face
The show features longtime acquaintances Desus Nice (Daniel Baker) and The Kid Mero (Joel Martinez) chatting with guests at the intersection of pop culture, sports, music, politics and more, as well as giving their take on the day’s hot topics in front of a small live studio audience from New York City. Upcoming guests include Lin-Manuel Miranda, Charlize Theron, Amy Poehler, Gabrielle Union, Seth Rogen, Spike Lee, Bill Hader, Regina Hall, among others.
Desus and Mero reconnected online in the early days of Twitter, where they unleashed their potent personalities and found themselves kindred spirits. That led to stints on Complex and MTV, the Bodega Boys podcast, and a daily late-night show on Viceland. The duo continue to host their Bodega Boys podcast.

Mo Williams’s All Star Storytime!
What a fabulous event at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC.
Mo Williams has written several children’s book & brought a few of his celebrity friends to read them and act out the role.
Willems first became interested in cartoon art when he was just a child. When he was 3 or 4 he started to draw and create his own characters. Willems enjoyed writing stories about his characters to share with others. However, he was disappointed when adults would praise his work out of politeness. To fix this dilemma Willems started writing funny stories. He knew that even polite adults could not fake a laugh. So when the adults laughed he knew his story was good and if the adults still gave polite comments then he knew his story was bad.
The celebrity friends that were there and I had the honor to work with are:
Anthony Anderson
Yvette Nicole Brown
Rachel Dratch
Cameron Esposito
Tony Hale
Greta Lee
Thomas Lennon
Joey Mazzarino
Natalie Morales
Fred Newman
Oscar Nunez
It was a beautiful day at The Kennedy Center … The Watergate Hotel was pretty awesome too :)
Gloria Steinem
What a pleasure it was to work with this incredible woman.
Her show on Broadway “Gloria” will not disappoint. There was not a dry eye in the house at the end of the night.
Gloria is the first truly strong woman that I admired & she is a powerhouse!
Gloria is a writer, lecturer, political activist, and feminist organizer. She travels in this and other countries as an organizer and lecturer and is a frequent media spokeswoman on issues of equality. She is particularly interested in the shared origins of sex and race caste systems, gender roles and child abuse as roots of violence, non-violent conflict resolution, the cultures of indigenous peoples, and organizing across boundaries for peace and justice. She lives in New York City, and just published her first book in over twenty years.
It was a true honor to just be a small part of her life, even if it was only for the weekend.
Tony Bennet & Diana Krall
This was a fun week promoting a new album with Tony Bennett & Diana Krall.
The title is “Love Is Here To Stay”…
All the songs are from the George Gershwin collection so you know everyone is a hit!
These two work so beautifully together and their love for one another shows even on the album.
I just love Old School, with all it’s class and meaning in every song.
Did you know that George Gershwin died at the tender age of 38! What a genius.
It was an honor as always to work with these two talented musicians.
Life is good :)
Nicki Minaj at The VMA's
Well, this was one show that will go down in history and it was no easy task.... but I love the adrenaline rush.
Just when you think you have seen it all... BAM!!!
The VMA's are on Sunday night, Saturday at 3:30pm Nicki's stylist wanted all 8 female dancers to have 25 inch pony tails with matching bangs. Ok, I'll make that happen... No problem!
Sunday (day of show) that afternoon Nicki brought in 4 new dancers from LA which were all Asian with blonde hair.. OK still made it happen!
When we finally get to the stage, wardrobe wants us to attach METAL head gear on the crown of their heads. We probably used 3000 bobby pins to secure those pieces on! My fear was one would have flown off when they whipped their head around. Not one fell off!!!! Made it Happen!
When Nicki Minaj is on the performance list for an awards show, you know she’s going to deliver. The Queen rapper, whose new album just dropped Aug. 10, made quite a mark at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards: she chose to stage her show-stopping performance at the Occulus.
Singing from downtown Manhattan’s Oculus, the transport hub and shopping center that opened in the World Trade Center district recently, the Queens rapper served up an energetic medley of songs from her album, opening with “Majesty” before shedding her elaborate pink cape to rap “Barbie Dreams” and one more track, dressed in golden armor.
2018 New Jersey Hall of Fame
This is always a fun show I do with Mr. Wollin down at the Jersey Shore at Asbury Park.

Debbie Harry, Bruce Springsteen , Little Steven Van Zant, Tommy James, Gloria Gaynor, The Four Seasons , Buzz Aldrin , Felipe Rose (From the Village People) and so many others.
My job is so fun !
