You've Done It All

After starting out talking about non-perennial candidate Chris Christie and telling us about the latest hi jinks from Hank Williams, Jr. when he (Hank Williams, Jr.) was interviewed on Fox and Friends, Stephen treated us to his interview with actor, musician and author John Lithgow. It would be hard to find someone who watches TV or goes to movies and who has not seen John Lithgow at some time in the past. Surely you have seen "3rd Rock From the Sun" (not to be confused with "30 Rock)."

(Funny story here. I once heard a lady ask why they called it 3rd Rock. She had no clue. Duh - Earth!!!!!)

John Lithgow's latest book, "Drama An Actor's Education", is a memoir. He also has written other books such as "I'm a Manatee," "Marsupial Sue" and "I Got Two Dogs." Those last three are actually aimed at a much younger audience.

Stephen used his own acting skills to convince John Lithgow that he had actually read the book "Drama An Actor's Education". It didn't work. Lithgow was not fooled and called Stephen out, "Clearly you haven't read the book."

When asked by Stephen about acting and what sucked him in, Lithgow replied, "Applause!" Well that is something that Stephen understands.
