I got a phone call yesterday from the star of a late ’80s sitcom – not a big hit, but it ran a couple years. The call wasn’t related to his fame; someone had pointed him to me to answer some comics-related questions. But dadgummit, I wish it was a show I’d been into, or could remember watching at least once, so I could get a little bit of that pointless-but-genuine celebrity contact thrill!
Note to Valerie Bertinelli: Call me!
