Ira, your interview with Pete Barbutti had me laughing in stitches. Couldn’t stop laughing. He is one great comedian and I was so great to hear his stories about the Tonight Show. As a forever fan of Johnny Carson I was so pleased to hear that Pete eventually had such a good relationship with Johnny. And hearing the name Arthur Godfrey brought back some happy memories. Many thanks for providing me and all your listeners such wonderful laughs.
