When the great director, Billy Wilder, was asked, what makes a movie unforgettable?

His answer was simple.

A little bit of magic.

I don't know how to introduce this, except to say that Luke reminded me of the existence

of Tom Cruise's speech at the Oscars after September 11th.

And then I was reminded of Jay Leno's first monologue after 9-11. And so we,

we together made the decision that it was time for America to heal. It was time for us to go back and

watch two classic pieces of post-9-11 kits. I only wanted to do the Tom Cruise one because I thought,

well, once you have that, like, what else do you need?

It's just three, like, perfect minutes.

But I'm glad we watched the Leno one because actually it was kind of a different message and it made for an interesting counterpoint.

These two great speeches given by two of the consummate showbiz phonies.
