"So No One Told You Life Was Gonna Be This Way"

I just saw this picture of David Schwimmer at TreyCruz.com and it reminded me of something Martin Short said in his show Fame Becomes Me.

You see, Mr. Short had the pre-Broadway tryout of that show here in Chicago and at every performance here and in New York, someone from the audience (usually a celebrity) would be brought up on stage at the top of the second act. They would then be interviewed by Jiminy Glick.

The night I attended, David Schwimmer was brought up on stage and I distinctly remember Jiminy saying to him...

"You're in really great shape for someone who's let himself go."

Genius.

I've never been a big David Shwimmer fan. Of course, I rarely watched Friends.

I watched Friends religiously for the first two years, and was no fan of David Schwimmer/Ross even then. Christ, he was a crybaby. And that monkey thing? OK--WEIRD.

Actually, I never liked any of them except for Matthew Perry and Lisa Kudrow.
