Hope you had a great weekend… One of the highlights of mine was seeing the amazingly funny Kathleen Madigan at the Royal Oak Music Theater, with a fabulous opening by Lewis Black. The show was filmed for a National TV special, and as per usual, Kathleen was fantastic! She may be from St. Louis, but she loves Detroit and (despite protestations from the producers in California) that’s why she chose this town for the taping. I was thrilled and humbled when she asked me to stand up and thanked me for “helping her career” by having her on my morning show so many times. (Of course it didn’t hurt that she always brought me cinnamon-raisin & salmon bagels!) As an added bonus, she invited Gail, Jackie and me back stage after the show to hang out with her and Lewis. Kudos to Mark Ridley for putting it all together…and make sure to look for the show when it airs!
