And that’s how I got here! Ba-dum-bump! My father, the comedian, passed away peacefully this week and I just wanted to share a bit with you, my community, who he was for me. First, I want to express my AWE at the outpouring of love, condolences and just plain support I have received since letting […]
I’m really excited about Ashton Kutcher taking over the reigns at Two and a Half Men. Why? It’s not because I’m a huge fan, it’s because I’m a huge fan of the show itself and wanted it to continue more than anything. I would have actually boycotted it had CBS and the execs rewarded […]
