Most of you probably are not old enough to remember when housewives really did wear shirtwaist dresses to do housework, when color TV was just beginning to take hold, when JFK had just promised a man on the moon, and when a lot of famous brands were invented or enhanced by the ad agency Mad Men in the title.

In the documentary, "Comedian," Jerry Seinfeld has decided to scrap all his previous material from decades of success as a standup comedian and TV star, and start over with a new standup act.

In a parallel story, and crossing paths with Seinfeld,

While preparing for an on-camera interview with a TV show that's looking for a public speaking expert to appear on an episode, I went over all my best public speaking tips and prepared to speak about my philosophy and my background, as requested. Yesterday, it turned out to be a good thing that I didn't have all the details beforehand. When I walked into the room, it felt a lot more like an audition than an interview!
