Dr. Edward Teller.

I am not sure if “meet” is the right word but I did get to sit in the same room with him along with other students and ask questions which he would answer.

I did not get to ask any. I will say he was a fascinating speaker.

Yep, met Ronald Reagan in the auditorium of a Christian college in Springfield, Missouri when he was campaigning.

Jerry Stiller, waiting for luggage at JFK.

He’s exactly like you imagine him to be. Nice guy.

Better be careful using the word ‘lame’. There was a college guy on with Kimberly Guilfoyle yesterday, who emphatically said that using the word ‘lame’ was hurtful to people who limp. Not kidding.

Many, many years ago I (young Blennos) was interviewed by a young Oprah Winfrey when she a novice roving reportorette in Baltimore. After her brush with the potent and mighty Blennos, her career soared. The rest is history.

As a child I was in the crowd as JFK’s motorcade rode through Aurora, Illinois when he was campaigning. Caught a glimpse of him from the grassy knoll of the White Castle.

My co-worker met his late wife Anne Meara outside a Manhattan restaurant. Same thing.

I worked room service at a fancy hotel.

Met Oliver North - A kind and gracious man. I served him coffee by the pool as he met with a handler. He made eye contact and thanked me.

Tom and Roseanne Arnold - Roseanne was a doosh who threw food around the room and lived in squalor. Tom had the good sense to be embarrassed.

Sid Ceasar - He had odd dietary demands.

At this job I also saw my very first naked woman, a thing that would not happen again for several years. I saw the whole enchilada. It was awesome.

He once told me and my dad something interesting. He said if you see something on television or a movie, it was meant to be there.
