Isolation Thought

I loved the comedian, Alan King, who died yesterday. He was one of the first comedians I remember seeing on TV, probably on "The Ed Sullivan Show". One of the jokes I remember from my youth was one of his, about how all the people die in alphabetical order on the obituary page. He also had a solid routine in the early to mid-70's where there was a big board that contained the fall schedules for the big three networks at the time. He would proceed to trash virtually every show on the board. It was quite good and so unique that I am pretty sure he did this bit on different programs and networks each year. Truly one of the greats.

The Tony nominations are out. Wolverine did get one for "The Boy from Oz", but no one named Tony was nominated in the "important" categories.
