I stand or sit with Jimmy Kimmel -I never watched him until he was on YouTube and now he stands with Colbert and Letterman and Carson in my eyes. He is funny. And so am I—-I’ve written similar jokes or in the same vein to Mr.Kimmel.

I remember watching Carson during the Silverman years-and I said out loud to my mom “wonder if it’s Fred Silverman behind” and Johnny said the exact thing.

My mom looked at me, and said is this a rerun? How did you know what he was going to say?

It’s new- and with everything it was brushed aside.

This is my new joke:

Charlie Kirk understood The Secret-law of attraction means you say something and believe in it strongly-it will happen to you.

(I have to believe I’m worth 1 million dollars! )

CK said “gun deaths are worth it “ to protect the Second Amendment

So watch what comes out of your mouth. Especially your inner voice.

I met Robert Redford in 2017

by Leslie Jacobs

I am very blessed to be friends with so many great people. My friend Mare treated me to a Broadway play and an overnight in NYC in 2017.

So, I played with the Universe and said I’d like to meet Barbra Streisand while in NYC.

Mare, her brother, his husband her cousins and I were seated when there was a hush in the crowd. Lights turned down as Robert Redford and his friends enter and sat a few rows down from us.

At intermission I asked to use the bathroom but Mare who has known me for over 40 years told me to sit on my hands and she refused to move so I could get out of my seat. She knew I wanted to meet him. So I had to wait until the show ended and most of the audience walked out.

Then I walked up to him, told him I was a writer and I’m so glad to meet you. He told me we need writers and had a nice chat.

I didn’t ask for an autograph but thanked him for his movies
