It was really fascinating that Gould's play reminded Nichols of Pinter's Betrayal. If memory serves, Nichols final Broadway directing credit was a revival of Betrayal starring Daniel Craig and Rachael Weitz.scottmcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-8540713727569880812019-08-10T12:13:45.253-07:002019-08-10T12:13:45.253-07:00Very entertaining interview and Michael seems very...Very entertaining interview and Michael seems very humble with his success.

I thought he made some fair points in her defense...although it's probably easier for him, since he wasn't the one she had fired (as other accounts have it).<br /><br />wgWendy M.

In 1991 I won $116,500 on a syndicated incarnation of $100,000 Pyramid (back when you had to be one of the three fastest players to enter the quarterly $100K tournament). Afterwards, I can't tell you how many people said, "Yeah, but you have to pay taxes on it." And then there was the coworker who asked me if the audition included "acting out what you'd do if you win." <br />Teri Mueller McGuinnessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-83525653950083375142019-08-09T05:29:46.751-07:002019-08-09T05:29:46.751-07:00I meant "piqued" not "peaked" ...I meant "piqued" not "peaked" - right?

I would encourage them to at least give each weekly offering a 5 minute listen to see if their interest is peaked. Ken's podcasts aren't that long. He ferrets out the interesting stuff from his guests and keeps it moving. It is easy to multitask while listening. You are certainly missing out on some interesting stories and, at times, life lessons if you are not tuning in. Just my opinion....Karan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199181878619065686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-26830497260578163112019-08-08T11:18:57.663-07:002019-08-08T11:18:57.663-07:00Great interview.
