One of the more amazing things about Richard Lewis is that he retained some of his stardom even though he hadn't performed standup or led a TV show or movie in thirty years.

Pretty, pretty, pretty, good Sam.

My wife and I were extras for a day on Curb (charity auction). Because my wife had become friends with Susie Essman we were introduced to everyone. I was starstruck. It was the Seinfeld reunion. I got to meet Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and we got a lift back to where we were staying with Cheryl.

We were on camera walking behind Larry and Jeff for three seconds. Season 7, episode 10., around 4:20. All three of my kids said my walking was bad! I was a little lopsided.

What struck me most about the day was the intense iterative process. How they would do improv, but keep refining it and trying new things. I think we saw the making of the first episode with Mocha Joe.
