“If you have one smile in you, give it to the people you love.” - Maya Angelou Wishing a very Happy Birthday to the amazingly talented and beautiful @umathurman - I had the privilege to capture her smile back in 2010 on the red carpet for Quentin Tarantino’s Friar’s Club Roast at the @nyhiltonmidtown . 😊📷🎂🎁🎈 #beautiful #smile #friarsclub #friarsclubroast #happybirthday #quentintarantino #celebrity #actor #actress #redcarpet #killbill #pulpfiction #uma #nyc #newyorkcity #nikon #nikonphotographer #nikonphotographers #nikonphotography #nikonusa #nycphotographer #umathurman #hollywood #hollywoodsmile #SAG @maya_hawke
It was a rainy Friday afternoon and a standing-room only crowd packed into the Grand ballroom of The Sheraton Hotel for the Friars Club Roast of #quentintarantino 🎬 Although I didn’t write for him that day, I was still very excited to see @iamrobschneider perform cause I was a huge fan of his from SNL and never saw his stand up before. From the second he stood up till he sat back down, Rob absolutely murdered that room and took no prisoners. Aside from being blown away by Rob’s performance, I was even more blown away by him as a person. After people cleared out and rushed to the after party, he was very gracious staying behind to chat and pose for pics with fans. Several years later when I co produced the first #gildafest award show honoring #amypohler , we were booking current and former SNL cast members to appear, Rob was the first person on top of my list. Unfortunately was scheduling conflict if I recall. On his #60thbirthday 🎂 , wishing @iamrobschneider many many more years of much deserved #health #success and #happiness and look forward to seeing him perform again soon. @quentin.quarantino #friarsclub #friarsclubroast #comedyroast #snl #deucebigalow #thehotchick #grownups #adamsandler

Nightclub Sunday at ModernWay: JACK E LEONARD !!! I love this guy ! He was truly one of a kind , a true comic original with a unique delivery style that was often imitated . Know as Fat Jack E Leonard , he is often considered the original insult comic long before Rickles came on the scene but he is so much more than that ! His voice , the rapid fire staccato delivery , the off the wall asides made under his breath ! He was also a comedians comedian and really was the star of all the great Friars Club roasts he delivered ! His opening line on stage was “ Good evening opponents “ in between all the comedy he would often love to sing a sing and glide his oversized frame in a surprisingly graceful soft shoe routine . Off stage he was everyone’s friend , a true gentle spirit ! Jack had a heart attack as he left the stage while performing at the Rainbow Room and died way too young at 63 . It is really hard to show how amazing he was on stage in an old clip and out of context but here is a clip of him going after Ed Sullivan at a Friars Roast that might at least show his style WATCH IT ALL PLEASE !

Rest in peace, Jerry Stiller... . . . . . . #jerrystiller #benstiller #jeffross #comedycentralroast #friarsclub #friarsclubroast #susieessman #jimmykimmel #kevinjames #jasonalexander #kingofqueens
In the spring of 2000 I saw the #FriarsClubRoast of #JerryStiller To this day it’s still my favourite roast ever. Then a few months later I was at #JustForLaughs in #Montreal and I got to meet the man himself. #SerenityNow! Jerry was a comedy force. Weather it be with his long time comedy partner & wife Anne. On #KingOfQueens or playing Frank Costanza on #Seinfeld. Yet when we met him he was such a small frail man. I was excited meeting him and he was kind enough to take a picture with me. Thanks for the picture, thanks for Ben and most of all thanks for the years and years of laughs that will always be there due to Seinfeld being in syndication. #RipJerryStiller 😢💔

#bookofthemonth - actually this is book number 4 for this month thanks to my download of the Libby library app (which is awesome), but squeezing in one more hardcover before the month is out. Plus I can use this one to add to my inherent warmth at parties and stuff. #bookstagram #friarsclub #friarsclubroast #vintagebooks #myvintagehome #vintagelove

@Regran_ed from @friars_club - Today’s #WCW is dedicated to our first card-carrying female Friar, Liza Minnelli. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ———————————————————————— In 1988, #lizaminnelli smashed through the club’s Tiffany ceiling by becoming the first official card-carrying female Friar. Her induction was an extraordinary evening honoring Minnelli’s show-biz heritage, and remembering her mother #judygarland, and father, #vincenteminnelli. The star-studded room included #miltonberle #lucilleball #charlesnelsonreilly #sidcasar - The evening was a fundraiser for Friar charities, which benefit children. Lucille Ball told the audience: “I’ve loved this young lady since she was 7 years old....Bless the cold who has his own - - and, God, have you got it.” #WCW #waybackwednesday #nyc #friar #friarsclub 📸 The Friars salutes #miltonberle with #lizaminnelli #lonianderson #burtreynolds #liza #judygarland #funnygirl #funnylady #comedy #comedic #comedian #friars #roast #friarsclubroast #comedygold
