Join me on TCM

I will be hosting the "Friday Night Spotlight" on Turner Classic Movies the entire month of January.  Yes, I can't believe it either.  It will be a Neil Simon Film Festival, showing seventeen of Neil's films.  Needless to say, I couldn't be more thrilled or honored.  As many of you know, Neil Simon is an idol of mine.  I've written about him numerous times in this blog.  So I get to be "Robert Osborne"for a month.  How cool is that? 



I recently went to Atlanta to tape my segments.  More on that as we get closer.   Again, thanks to TCM for entrusting me with their Neil Simon salute.   If I can't be him, at least I can introduce his films.  I hope you'll join me.  And even if you skip my intros and outros, watch these movies.  There are some real gems. 

Here's the schedule.
