I sometimes do public speaking at industry events or at company meetings. I'm told that I am, at best, a mediocre speaker unless I'm really passionate about something. That passion seems to give me the words and to animate me in a way that makes me much more interesting than usual. It also seems to enable me to even deliver a joke properly when normally I'm terrible at telling jokes. So what does all that have to do with The Hudson Theater in New York? I was staying at the Millennium Broadway hotel next door recently and I just happened to come across the write up below about the history of The Hudson Theater. It brought back a wonderful memory. Sort of my "fifteen minutes of fame" kind of thing. Here's the story. In the 1950's I once attended a live airing of The Tonight Show (when Steve Allen was host) at The Hudson Theater. I don't remember that much about the show but there was one funny line from the guest comedian George Gobble that has stuck wit
