My copy arrived today.  Let me finish up with Jeffrey Tambor's (very good) memoir, and then I'm all yours.

I saw this just as I saw an episode of Super Password with Betty. I'm definitely getting this. Is  it available at a brick & mortar store like Barnes & Noble?

Not Barnes & Noble. BearManor Media titles generally only end up in mom & pop shops. So if you know a mom & pop, ask if they have a bookstore and go find my book there.

According to Amazon, your book, a cat, and a late supper will be waiting for me at home after rehearsal today!

Today, December 12, 2017 is the forty-first anniversary of the death of actor Jack Cassidy.  I see in the new Ludden bio, under the episode guide for Stumpers, that Cassidy was listed with Mike Farrell (of M*A*S*H*) as guesting on the show the very week of this tragedy.

That's... nice?

I believe that when the episode aired, Ludden did a voiceover mentioning the week taped several weeks in advance.

Cassidy was supposed to tape "Hollywood Squares" on December 13. Peter Marshall says in his autobiography that he learned Cassidy was dead when he saw a "Squares" staffer crying and the crew was removing Cassidy's nameplate from the square.

Cassidy was also seen on "Cross Wits" after he died. When it aired in NYC on WNEW TV (Ch. 5) they was an announcement to the equivalent of "Cross Wits is a pre-recorded program. We mourn the untimely passing of Jack Cassidy."

Back to the subject at hand. I know someone is giving me a Amazon gift card for Christmas. Adam will be pleased to know what I plan on using it for.
