So Honored – So Great

Posted on by

Last night was an amazing night. The Sunset Parade conducted by the Marines was spectacular. To meet so many brave Marines beforehand and to have the opportunity to meet Generals and volunteers was truly an eye-opening experience.

I am honored to have been involved and my family was humbled to be singled out last evening. It isn’t us that deserves praise, it is all of the brave men and women who sacrifice in our name to keep us safe and secure.

Here is a video that you can purchase of the parades and the drill core doing their best. It is a sight to see.

I went to the new NBC website and had to think about my dearly departed friend, Brandon Tartikoff. It is hard to believe that Brandon passed away 11 years ago.

Brandon was a man of honor, good humor, style, grace and compassion. He was creative, silly and full of life and energy. He was the best network TV programmer ever. I miss him.

I have to wonder what he would think of a lineup for NBC that included Celebrity Circus; The Baby Borrowers; Nashville Star; American Gladiators; and America’s Got Talent as the key primetime deliverables of the network. “Must See TV”? I think NOT.
