Mr. New York. It's Mark Simone on 710 W.O.R. Well, Alan's W. Bell, one of our greatest writers,

producers, SNL, curb your enthusiasm. He's written some great books, plays. He's on tour all over the country.

Get his book laugh lines about a

career in comedy. And go to his website, allenswyebel.com. Alan'swybel, how you doing?

I'm great, Mark. How you doing? Good. Now, you're fully back to normal, right? Touring,

speaking, appearing, doing all that stuff again.

Yeah, that's all fired up again.

There are meetings that are no longer on Zoom.

You're still Zoom meetings, but, you know, it's good to see people in person, especially when you do speeches. You know, it was getting nuts, just looking into a Zoom,

you know, your computer and seeing maybe 200 people listening to you,

and some of them were eating sandwiches and other ones were knitting.

So, you know, it's great to be with them,

and things are pretty much back up to speed.

Yeah, but when you do it on Zoom, you can just click off and you're done.

When it's in person, now 75 people come up to you afterwards.

You know, I write comedy.

You know, I, you have to put up with all that.

Well, the worst one, the ones was, I have a nephew.

The minute anyone says I have a nephew, who cracks us up at the Sater, you know, you're

in for a long discussion.

That's true.

That's true.
