He's done it before and he's great at it. Should be a fun ceremony and I'm glad they're televising on PBS.

It's great that they're televising it this year so I don't have to watch it via a terrible internet connection. He is a great host - my favorite part about last years' ceremony was when he read off a nomination for PRYMATE, a few people clapped, and he said "Oh, I heard someone saw that." It was great.

He was incredible last year! I am very happy!
Now, when will his filming begin for Hairspray.
Edna rules! Yay Harvey!!!!
They did not think about Travolta! Updated On: 3/2/05 at 05:28 PM

Sure..I'm not thrilled. Then again, I can't think of anyone better to do it. It will be fun..I guess I just think he gets old after a while. Not in shows or anything, just Harvey as Harvey.

I had a little something to do about it.
You could say i am Harvey's guardian Jew.

The Drama Desk Awards are the second most prestigious theatre awards in America, behind the Tonys.

Actually, the Drama Desk Awards also include Off Broadway theater.
Unlike the Tonys that only cover Broadway, the Drama Desk awards allow Broadway and Off Broadway shows to compete against each other. This is the 50th Drama Desk Award show, May 22, 2005.

Has Frank Langella ever hosted?

I am not sure. Check on the website.
Since I have been involved we had Chita, Harvey, Tovah and Harvey.

So far Harvey was the most fun. He had me in stitches last year.
He is very funny. Very entertaining. Updated On: 3/2/05 at 10:55 PM
