(Recalling a personal encounter with comedian Jerry Seinfeld): "When my show, "Get a Life" (1990), first aired on Fox and "Seinfeld" (1990) first aired, it was around the same time. Surprisingly, "Get a Life" (1990) was doing slightly better. Jerry and I were sitting next to each other on a flight, and he seemed slightly depressed that his show wasn't doing that great. I can actually remember saying, 'Ah come on. I think it's funny. I'm sure people will catch on.' In about six months, I was off the air -- and he was through the roof."
  • Son of Bob Elliott (of "Bob and Ray" fame).
