The Leonard Lopate Show: Jacques D'Amboise and Eddie Izzard - WNYC
Thanks for this loyal event. Fun pieces like this are what I contemplate from WNYC. Terrific scheme to have Walken hostess for the day. All of the segments were glaring and made me a halt and pay attention to as opposed to working away. Loved that Eddie Izzard just now stopped by - order that would chance at my job. Satisfied to see my membership dollars being put to competent use. As a consequence of you!
