"What really killed the program in many ways was Elmo." - A real quote from the head of the Taxi & Limousine Commission.

@ironicsans A lot of fun! I worked with Al for several years and he was always a legitimate delight.

He would appear in podcast upfronts, and would always call me ahead of time to test his scripts and if I thought they were funny enough. That was fun, too.

@lexfri Very cool. Yeah, he was great to chat with and very kind of him to do so!
