Jeff Zucker – NBC/Comcast magic
February 3, 2010
I was invited to entertain 125 guests last night at a private dinner celebrating Comcast’s new ownership of NBC Universal. All the heavy hitters of the two companies were there, including Jeff Zucker (NBC president), Ralph Roberts (Comcast founder), and Brian Roberts (Comcast CEO).
The dinner was held in the private dining room of Maloney & Porcelli, across the street from my beloved Waldorf-Astoria. I must say, it was a pretty challenging crowd at first, but by the end of “Think-a-Drink” they were an absolute delight. I enjoyed getting Jeff Zucker and Ralph Roberts on stage with me for my finalé, and they couldn’t have carried out their roles better.
A milestone evening.
