Years ago, I wrote Tom Lehrer a letter asking if he would be open to an interview, knowing full well that he would likely reject me. I assumed I would never hear from him, but to my surprise, he responded and rejected me. I am honored to have been rejected by such a legend. RIP Tom Lehrer.

Just heard of the passing of Under the Umbrella Tree creator Noreen Young. We did a DefunctTV on the show and her puppetry a few years ago, and afterwards, she sent me a long and kind message about how well we did and how much she enjoyed reading the comments of people remembering her show.
