BISTRO Awards -featuring Liz Smith

May 12th, 2012 Heather Kovar


This April I had the opportunity to attend the 27th Annual Bistro Awards at Gotham Comedy Club in New York City.
No, I had not previously heard of the Bistro Awards.
But basically it was established as the first awards for cabaret performers.

You can read about the event at BistroAwards.com.

This year Kaye Ballard was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award and to my surprise her friend, journalist Liz Smith, was there to accept. Smith also spoke with Ballard live via satellite from Ballard’s home, talking a little about their history together.

Smith had the audience laughing with the various things she said, including some “being from Texas” comments and the statement “I’m the only intellectual left who was fired by the New York Post.”

John Miller: Napkin Diaries

May 12th, 2012 Heather Kovar

On Wednesday, April 18th CBS News senior correspondent John Miller spoke to the New York Press Club.

You can watch a portion of the event by clicking here.

The video is about five minutes long. I put two of his stories together and call them the “Napkin Diaries.”

The New York Press Club events page describes Miller:
A TV reporter in New York City during the 1970′s and 1980′s, John Miller’s subsequent career has swung regularly between journalism and law enforcement. A former NYPD deputy commissioner for public information, Miller also worked for the Los Angeles Police Department in anti-terror. Between police postings, he was an ABC News correspondent, co-anchoring “20/20.” While at ABC, Miller landed an enviable scoop: an interview with Osama bin Laden. His career has also included roles at the Justice Department (FBI) and in the office of the director of national intelligence.

Now a senior correspondent at CBS News, John Miller reports for all CBS News platforms and broadcasts, including “CBS This Morning,” the “CBS Evening News With Scott Pelley,” and occasionally for “60 Minutes.”
