I will be hosting the "Friday Night Spotlight" on Turner Classic Movies the entire month of January. Yes, I can't believe it either. It will be a
Neil Simon Film Festival, showing seventeen of Neil's films. Needless to say, I couldn't be more thrilled or honored. As many of you know, Neil Simon is an idol of mine.
I've written about him numerous times in this blog. So I get to be "Robert Osborne"for a month. How cool is that?
I recently went to Atlanta to tape my segments. More on that as we get closer. Again, thanks to TCM for entrusting me with their Neil Simon salute. If I can't be him, at least I can introduce his films. I hope you'll join me. And even if you skip my intros and outros, watch these movies. There are some real gems.
