and became friendly with him and that is one of my favorite documentaries. i think it's the best documentary kind of ever made. it was the beginning of reality tv.

it created a whole new genre, both in journalism

and absolutely in documentary films. and that they nurtured all of these younger documentary filmmakers who hopefully pronounce their names-

it was stupendous. it was almost like channeling, not even acting.
H

5.4

Female
and they both are singers. and that was an amazing book and a great score. and i think anything christine ebersole does, they should give her a tony.

it's just the problem with broadway, it's like every single nerve gets, yeah, you're right. i agree.

and you know, talk about a cathartic experience

for somebody. but it's just so expensive that it's really hard to get to go see things.

132
Female
yeah. it's become really elitist and it's really sad. i have a school here

133
Female
but we get those kids to go to see broadway shows and sadly, we've had to purchase all the tickets.
S
4.2
2.2
3.8
133
Female
so, part of the cost of running this whole event is that these children who live in the theater district and never get to see the shows. it's like being in hawaii, living near the beach and never getting to go in.
N
4.2
3
4.6
133
Female
so, we get them to actually go see what it is that's going on in their neighborhood that they're living amongst but never getting to experience but we have to pay for them as well. so, it's
N
4.333333
3.166667
4.5
133
Female
sustainable because here we are and it's thriving and things are really,

4.2
133
Female
the industry itself, i don't think is set up to perpetuate its longevity.
N
4.8
2.8
6
133
Female
i apologize. i didn't mean to interrupt you but what i meant by unsustainable is that if there is not a rosie o'donnell in place who happens to be a philanthropic, those kids don't get to go to the theater.

is really needed and i wish there could be more. and we work with the board of ed and we go into the most needy schools based on free lunch.

133
Female
so, there's definitely a need for arts programs in new york city and across the country and many states have asked us to replicate it. but
N
3.4

4.4
133
Female
it's specific in my opinion to new york and although we took the premise and the prototype from dropped and paused dance america,

people in the appalachian mountains to people in other countries.
N
3.4
3.6

we took what he did and we replicated it, only changed it to musical theater not just dance.
N

133

i'm so glad he's teaching people in the appalachian mountains who already are desperate needy for job skills.

same with your childhood because you sort of fell into standup, it seems like, but you really wanted to be on what you saw on broadway?
C
5.166667

5.166667
132
Female
yes, clams on the half shell, 1973, i believe it was. i was 10 or 11, i know my mother had died so it was after march '73.
N
3.6
4.2
4.8
133
Female
and i remember just looking at her and thinking, "i want to be her," not i want to be like her, i wanted to do an i dream of jeannie,
H
3.8
5.8
4.2
133
Female
like fold my arms in front of me and blink and become bette midler because i had never seen a live performer

with that kind of light, electricity and talent. i had never seen anything like it.

touring companies of george m. cohan at westbury music fairs as a child, joel gray.
N

5.2
133
Female
yeah, that was amazing. but this was in george m. cohan,
X
4.2
4.4
4
133
Female
that was a show. give my regards to broadway, i believe was in that. but
N
3.4
5
4.6
133
Female
i had never seen a performer like bette midler. so, that was the beginning. and then, she had three backup singers called harlettes.
H
4.833333
5.25
4.916667
133
Female
and so in my mind, i thought, "well, i'm not really a good singer but i bet i could be one of her backup singers."
N
4.5
4.333333
4.666667
133
Female
and then, i went to see more musicals and then i saw more shows and i would stand outside the stage door and watched these sweaty actors come out. and i would think,
N
4
4
4.333333
133
Female
"okay, this is what i definitely want to do. how do i end up getting here?"
X
3.4

i saw a standup comedian. i mean, i saw them on tv. i saw tony fields.

133
Female
yes, ed sullivan. i'm 53 so i remember black and white and ed sullivan-
N
3.8

3.8
133
Female
and i remember watching totie fields and phyllis diller and my mom did not like joan rivers.
N
2.888889
3.555556
4.444444
133
Female
yes. because she was too abrasive?
C
4.2
2.2
4.6
132
Female
her always telling me if you have to be mean and hurt someone else, you're not really funny. and so i was like, "wow, that's interesting." so, it took until i was...
X
3.25
3.333333
4.333333
133
Female
so much for comedy and for women,
X
4.4
3.4
4.8
133
Female
but she is a reflection of the time she grew up in. [inaudible]
D
3.6
3.4

133
Female
and her act was very self-debasing and,
N
3.181818
2.909091
4.272727
133
Female
"oh, i'm so ugly. oh, i'm so fat." and i don't think
F
5.583333
2.583333
4.333333
133
Female
in today's kind of pop culture lexicon there's...
N
3.2
4.2
4.4
133
Female
she doesn't make fun of herself. she kind of puts down other people or makes political observations about societal setups.
N
3.2
2.6
4.4
133
Female
that she tries to eviscerate people the way joan rivers did.
N
4
3
4.8
133
Female
yes. but even when you were talking about... when i said how did you possibly win homecoming queen, class president, class clown, and all these things
X
5.4
3.8
5.4
132
Female
you deflected and said, "oh, it's because i was so eager to please, but-"
A
6.2

132
Female
it is. i'm super accessible. i was friendly to all the groups. so i pay
H
5.083333
5.083333
5
133
Female
attention to the janitor, as i did to the principal, as i did to the nerdy kid, as i did to the jock. so i was an equal opportunity....
X
4.2
3.2
5.2
133
Female
less people in the world have an easy pass that can get them in to me
N
4.2
3.4
5.2
133
Female
and there's so many different easy passes that give them access. so when i walk down the street or when i go to a restaurant, people will come over and say hello to me,
N
3.2
4
4.4
133
Female
and feel an intimacy with me that makes me sometimes question whether or not i've met them before. normally i go through, okay, try to see if i actually know this person.
N
3
4.8
4.8
133
Female
tell me what the connection is. so people will say, "my mother died when i was a kid too." "i also have a child with a learning disability."
X
4.8
4.4
5.2
133
Female
"i also had a heart attack." "i lost weight too." "i'm a gay person."
N
4.727273
3.272727
5
133
Female
there are so many- i have eyebrows. well, that's my point is there are so many ways
D
5.8
3
5.2
133
Female
and i'm so sort of open about all of the areas of my life
H
4.6
5
4.6
133
Female
people can fit inside or feel as though they can go right through the door.
N
3.2
3.6
3.6
133
Female
but that is a rare gift and i will say that that is also a rare gift in a standup.
N
5.2
5
5.2
132
Female
meaning that i'm thinking of your peers like seinfeld or steve martin, and
X
4.2
4.2
4.2
132
Female
even a whoopi goldberg per se, i don't know her intimately, but i would say that
X
4.4
4.4
5.4
132
Female
people can put themselves out there, but that doesn't necessarily make them accessible to other people. and that is a rare gift that you possess as a standup.
H
4.4
4.6
5.2
132
Female
before i was a standup too, as a young kid, my parents used to tell me that i would talk to everyone in the street.
H
3.2
5.2
5
133
Female
i would stop and talk to the ice cream man. i would stop the ice cream man and,
N
4.6
4
4.4
133
Female
"hi, do you have any kids?" i would just talk to people.
X
5.4
4.4
5.2
133
Female
neediness, but i'm going to call it empathy. so, i feel like what i think what i was trying to say before is so many what makes a brilliant standup comedian in part is having self awareness
N
4.6
5
5.2
132
Female
and then being able to articulate that in a way that's really funny. you also possess empathy. so it's another step and i think that's why you were able to bridge
N
5.2
5.4
5.2
132
Female
from going from a presentational style of standup to a conversational style.
N
4
4.2
4
132
Female
it was really interesting. the thing that helped me the most do that was being a vj
N
4.2
4
4.6
133
Female
because when you do stand up, you present a fully wrapped package and it's presented really well. it's like from tiffany's, it's in a box, it's got
N
3.6
4.6
4.2
133
Female
a bow and there's a whole journey of you open the bow. you open the thing, there's paper in
N
4.6
3.4
4
133
Female
the gift. when i was a vj, i was on for...
N
3.6
4.4
5
133
Female
on vh1 in 1988.
N
3
4
3.2
133
Female
i know i sound so old saying this, but i feel like when we were young mtv and vh1 really were changing the face of culture. whereas now i feel like there's such mainstream brands.
H
5.8
5
5.4
132
Female
vh1 was including me. i auditioned actually for mtv, they were looking for vj's and i auditioned at the improv and steve leads, the talent booker who still works at mtv,
N
4.4

3.8
133
Female
i went over to him afterwards and said, "what do you think?" and he goes, "you're really funny, but you don't really look like the look that the channel... i wasn't hip and cute and young and trendy.
C
5
3.833333
4.833333
133
Female
i was the opposite of that. and he goes, "we have another channel called vh1," and i remember seeing rita coolidge on there, who i had always enjoyed when i was younger. and i was like, "okay, i'll try that."
X

4.4

Female
a lot of people who didn't really know what it was including me.

N
5.461538

young at 16, i looked like just a little tomboy. i remember when i was a young comedian people saying, "oh my god, aren't you upset that's roseanne barr?" and i was like, "why would i be upset?" totally.
