The comedian or the late Governor of Alabama (laughs)?
The comedian. George and I had been on the road together for years. I’d conduct, he’d do the opening acts, and we got to be friendly. We had a couple acts that we did at the same time. Tom Jones and Diana Ross if I remember correctly. He and Jerry are best friends. Jerry actually does have a best friend named George and he mentioned to me that his buddy Jerry Seinfeld was trying to get this show going and he was having trouble with music. They kept talking to composers and hearing music that they didn’t like and they weren’t sure what to do, so he hooked me up with Jerry. George said to me, “You’re gonna get this call from Jerry, be nice to him.
