This evening, I attended a monthly meeting of a group I belong to called Yarmy's Army. It's a social/support club of folks in show business — mostly comedians and comedy writers, mostly older than me. We sit around and eat and tell anecdotes. I can't recall the names of all the folks who were there tonight so I'll just name ten in no particular order: Thom Sharp, John Rappaport, Greg Lewis, Hank Garrett, Jack Riley, Chuck McCann, Budd Friedman, Arnie Kogen, Kerry Ross and Mike Preminger.
Mike Preminger and I go back to when I was working on Welcome Back, Kotter. He was the warm-up comedian at most tapings, including the memorable one I wrote about here when Groucho came to the show. If you're going to go read it, you might want to read the column before it first.
Mike's a very clever guy who I guess does more writing these days than performing, though he's good at both. He has a new website on which he's posting some of his funny stories and observations. Go read a few and see if you don't get hooked. It might be a good place to go the next time this site gets hacked.
