Josh Groban first appeared on an episode of Ali McBeal about ten years ago.
He played her kinda geeky date for the Prom and when he stood up and sang, the whole room quieted down and watched his jaw dropping performance.
I ran to the Internet to look up who he was..with no success.
Now he is a household name with a voice like an angel and apparently, he’s a great guy to boot.
I share your opinion of Groban. I do wish, however, that he would dress better on occasion. If one is going to sing the National Anthem at the US Open or a baseball game, if one is as respectful and reverent as Groban seems, a sport coat might be the way to go. Especially given his height and bearing, that choice has much to recommend it.
