Comedian Hal Sparks dishes

  Interviewed Comedian/Actor Hal Sparks backstage @ the Improv Friday.

  Really nice guy, down to earth & pretty 'tell it like it is'.

  You've seen him doing commentary on VH1 for 'I love the 80's- 70's'- etc

 He talked about the buzz factor when people see a celebrity, then start to realize its a celebrity, then everyone is looking- even if they don't know who it is- pretty funny stuff!

Told me that Jack Nicholson says - he can walk anywhere he wants in America- past you as a gas station, to the supermarket- the problem is when he stops walking, that's when people start to stare.

   He ripped on celebs who say they're plagued by the attention- and talked about what a unique gift it is that he's been given celeb status.

  Comedians he doesn't dig ::   Jeff Foxworthy & the other blue collar guys

  And another interesting note from our chat :::: he said that any celeb you meet that's a total jerk is now, and forever will be on the 'B' list- and they know it- and that's why they're grumpy.

 His show Friday @ the Improv was on Michael Jackson- "too soon??" he asked 

  *maybe - but it was funny! 

 

Sunday's my Friday

   It's a great lookin' Sunday (which is my Friday).

 Woke up to husband watching World Championship swimming.

I've been poking around the web working on video formatting for my website- which, for someone who doesn't know how to successfully operate a DVD player, can be challenging.

  I've got the August edition of Runner's World- sadly, not July edition- which tells you a great training plan for a marathon. 

   Tonight is the HoustonPress Music Awards Showcase in Downtown Houston.

That's likely where you'll find me from 4:30 ish until our 9:00 show www.39online.com

  gee, i hope that hyperlinks...because I'm new to this format, we'll just have to see-

  

One last thought: my husband would be happy to report that I took out the trash this morning without being asked. Yes, this is a normal adult thing to do. No, I don't make it a habit of doing it.

  I'm a work in progress :)

Enjoy your day!
