The Marriage Ref tonight - behind the scenes!
I was very intrigued when I was approached to appear as one of the panelists on The Marriage Ref, Jerry Seinfeld’s new comedy series on NBC. I was told that I would be part of a three-member celebrity panel, along with Jason Alexander, actor and comedian, and Cedric, the Entertainer. I have to admit that I was slightly put off by this because Jason and Cedric are just so inherently funny. They barely need to think about the next hilarious thing to pop out of their mouths. If you haven’t been watching, the premise of The Marriage Ref involves real life couples, who have been experiencing problems for a long period of time. The panel must argue the merits of both sides and vote on who they think is right. I hope you will tune in to this evening’s episode and let me know your reactions.
1 On the night of the Marriage Ref, I was touched up by my new makeup artist, Charlie Green. She is a very famous makeup artist, known by everyone, and she applies very beautiful makeup that is not artificial or heavy. We are in the CBS studios on West 57th Street, where the new Seinfeld show is filmed.
2 My attorney, Larry Shire, dropped by to visit with me before the taping of the show - he put me at ease.
3 Larry is a partner at Grubman, Indursky & Shire, a well known firm specializing in celebrity music, news, media, and fashion stars.
7 Cedric the Entertainer, one of the funniest comics in America, was one of three judges on my night - Jason Alexander, who played George on 'Seinfeld,' was the other.
8 Lo and behold! Joey Kola, from my show, was warming up the Seinfeld audience - he was moonlighting!!!!!
10 Cedric, me, and the very, very, famous funny man - Jerry Seinfeld - Jerry is the genius behind the show.
11 Jason Alexander is also a genius. He is so clever and so fast. I had a very hard time keeping up with Jason and Cedric, two seasoned performers who make their living being funny.
