JFL42: RICHARD IN CONVERSATION WITH JIM NORTON AND CRISTELA ALONZO!

Thanks JFL42 for another great weekend! I hosted two In Conversations, both very funny and both very revealing. Cristela Alonzo was so heartfelt, so powerful and so funny. Jim Norton said to me “we can talk about anything…” and then we did. He was open, honest and, like Cristela, very funny. Thanks JFL for giving me the best seat in the house for both shows.

JFL 42: TODAY!! RICHARD HOSTS ‘IN CONVERSATION’ WITH CRISTELA ALONZO.

Why Cristela Alonzo?

Because she made history in 2014 when she became the first Latina to create, produce and star in her own network sitcom, “Cristela” for ABC!

Because she established herself in the stand-up world with her half hour special for Comedy Central and numerous appearances on “Conan,” “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.”

Because she has topped multiple comedy power player lists including “Variety’s Top 10 Comics to Watch,” “Top 10 Comedy Acts to Watch” by LA Weekly, Time Out’s “Comics to Watch,” and was named one of the “50 Comedians You Should and WILL Know” by Vulture.
