Lucy (Lucille Ball) came to several episodes during the second season of Welcome Back, Kotter. She simply enjoyed the fun humor of the show. I would sit with her when I wasn't on and just hold her hand. She would say to me, "This is my kind of comedy, and they're not doing enough of it today."

I grew up reading Mad Magazine and laughing my ass off. Alfred E. Neuman for President, was my motto. I still think he could beat George W. Bush to this day. One day someone walked in and said, "Hey look, you guys are on the cover of Mad Magazine." Forget TV Guide, People, and the National Enquirer. I knew I had made it.
