Back From Iraq!
The Desert is No Place for Neat Freaks

Entertaining the troops in the Middle East back in 2002 during Operation Enduring Freedom was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

They Call Her Friar Lord!

I recently became a proud member of America's oldest and most respected comedy institutions. Best known for it's scathing yet funny roasts, The Friars Club has been home to some of the greatest American actors, comics and luminaries and now moi! Hanging out in it's beautifully appointed NYC home is like stepping back through time: The Lucille Ball Room, The Ed Sullivan Room ... are all just breath taking. And the bathrooms aren't bad either. Three ply, very swanky. Enjoy the photos!




If you missed me on CNN American Morning with Reporter Carole Costello and a panel of women talking about Sarah Palin's appearance on Oprah you can watch it HERE. We chatted for about an hour and they whittled it down to what feels like 30 seconds, but it was fun. If you want more check out the accompanying article HERE.
