NEIL SIMON'S MUCH LESS FAMOUS OLDER BROTHER, DANNY SIMON

  I'm stumbling around with bloodshot eyes this morning, following yesterday's late night HOT PLATE recording session.
  Did a great interview with Dave Nuttycombe, where we talked a bit about his checkered past making hilarious films with Travesty, Ltd., but our main topic was Neil Simon's much less famous older brother, Danny Simon. Danny was an underappreciated comedy writer (Sid Caesar, Danny Thomas, The Facts of Life, etc.), and Dave told me some stories about Simon and the comedy writing seminars he taught years ago.
  Monday night is the panel discussion with Thomas Alderson and Keith Grimes, where I'll shift gears from the serious subject of TV comedy to a much more ludicrous area-- today's political discourse.
