I seem to be on quite the star-studded run here. Today, I went to a taping of
Real Time with Bill Maher, which films at CBS Studios in LA neighborhood of Fairfax and is adjacent to The Grove in mid Los Angeles. My friend Melinda goes so often that—when I arrived a bit later than the rest of the group—I just dropped her name and was ushered in like a celebrity.
Tonight's guests were Errol Morris (director
The Fog of War, The Thin Blue Line), Sheila Bair, Rep. Keith Ellison, Simon Schama and Shane Smith. I wasn't familiar with most of the guests but it was interesting anyway... especially since I don't subscribe to those fancy channels like HBO so it's nothing I could otherwise watch from the comfort of my home.
As a bonus, to add to the star-studdedness, after the show was over, Seth Rogan stopped by to say hello to us and film a brief scene for his upcoming movie
The Interview—a short bit of Bill Maher doing a fake monologue. I (along with everyone else there) played "the audience." Although we were not actually captured on camera (other than our applause and laughter), I'm sure I'll personally be mentioned in the credits.
