Close Encounters of the Non-Jon Kind
Frank DeCaro
Name: Julie H.
Age: Thirty-something
Location: New
York City
Encounter dates:
September 2000
Event: Seminar
about TDS at the Museum of Television and Radio
Added: September 2,
2002
I saw a guy standing on
the platform and I thought, "Hhhmm, that guy looks like Frank DeCaro....oh,
that IS Frank DeCaro!" So, walked up to him and said, "I just want to tell you
that I really enjoy your work on The Daily Show." He thanked me and then we
just started talking about the show, moving to NYC (which I recently did), cable,
my job, his writing....it ended up we were waiting for the same train, so after
we started talking, the train came, and he sat down next to me and continued
talking until he got off one stop before me. He was really nice and chatty.
And I would bet the farm that he is actually gay, not just playing one on TV.
He also writes for TV Guide, which he said, "Thank God for TV Guide, 'cause
Lord knows Comedy Central isn't going to pay the bills." Or something to that
effect. VERY nice guy.
