I currently work with him and can honestly say that in all my years of working in television, film and stage, I have not met a nicer performer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143492786153366272.post-28902019184152425312011-11-01T19:48:34.177-07:002011-11-01T19:48:34.177-07:00Just saw Don Reed's newest show in San Fran - ...Just saw Don Reed's newest show in San Fran - The Kipling Hotel - it was amazing! He is so very talented and his funny stories and characters segway into an inspirational message that could benefit anyone. I completely agree that even meeting him once was an incredibly positive experience and I detected nothing but humility.

I his East 14th St in L.A. probably 7 times and would see it several more if he would do a show here again.....hint hint..lol. Why it hasn't hit HBO, Showtime etc is a mystery, hopefully that happens soon and everyone can laugh their Azz off to tears :)<br /><br />DKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143492786153366272.post-44812054036481781182011-03-25T23:45:04.862-07:002011-03-25T23:45:04.862-07:00@Figures.

But, I'd really like to find out who you are because I pride myself on interacting with people on a very cool and professional level. I'm certain I've not gone further in my career because of being kind and not arrogant or a trouble maker. I never write into things like this, but your note implies we work together. Please be forward enough to let me know who you are so we can discuss. I can't imagine who I actually work with who would write such a thing.

He really got the crowd on their feet, and when the show ran into some sound trouble, he pulled out all the stops and kept the funny juices flowing!

Anyway, Don's one-man show is definitely worth seeing and I hope readers in the Bay Area check it out.Talk Show Newshttp://talkshownews.interbridge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1143492786153366272.post-8316705815872387182010-03-05T23:32:34.206-08:002010-03-05T23:32:34.206-08:00It's no surprise that he has praise for the gu...It's no surprise that he has praise for the guy he works for — would he risk his job to tell us what he really thinks, if he thinks different? My other reaction to this interview is, if Leno has no ego, why didn't he suggest to NBC that his show go on after Carson Daly's rather than in the 11:35 spot?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
