ORIGINALLY POSTED ON THE FOURTH EDITION OF "THE BEAU ZONE" ON THE HARD ROCK HEROES WEBSITE FROM DECEMBER 2004 TO APRIL 2005.
Here's a scoop:
I was on vacation in Las Vegas the first week of October when the marquee at the Palms Hotel & Casino advertised a one hour comedy TV taping tomorrow (Friday, October 8) at 7:30 p.m. in their lounge with free admission to see none other than Danny Bonaduce of Partridge Family fame.
So I went, and it turned out to be a taping of stand-up comedy to somehow be inserted into a new VH1 reality show starring Danny.
As both the host and Danny himself said, though, Danny's not a stand-up comedian. What he did was a talk in stand-up comedian form about things that have happened in his life. Two stand-up comedians opened for him. The host was a guy who works with Danny on his current morning radio show.
Danny was hilarious. It was the highlight of my trip. Never did I think when I was 10 years old watching The Partridge Family on ABC in 1972 would I someday be in the same room as Danny Partridge, LIVE. Even if I had to wait over 30 years for that moment to occur.
Afterward, the camera crew shot Danny walking around the casino. I walked around behind him, so look for me: I'm wearing a blue New York t-shirt and jeans. Danny rocks! Now let's wait for the air date!
