Attending “Harry” Starring Harry Connick Jr. Was Great Fun

Recently I was fortunate to attend a taping of a new television show, “Harry,” named such because it stars the talented Harry Connick Jr.

The show I attended featured Whoopi Goldberg as a guest. She presented Harry with a special gift.

Other guests were Jessica McClard, whose “Free Little Pantry,” as fed so many people in her home city of Fayettville, Arkansas. The sports historian in me wonders if she is related to Bill McClard, who once “toed” a 60 yard field for The University of Arkansas.

Isaiah Cooper, 16 years old and so polite and dignified that the show’s star, Connick, a father of three girls, stated he was the kind of a guy he hoped one of his daughters would “bring home” some day, was the final guest.

He recently overcame a dangerous situation, safely landing the plane he was flying solo, and continued and completed his cross country flight.

It was quite a show with the personable, smooth Connick hosting accompanied by his tremendous band.

The show airs this Monday, September 26th, 4 p.m. on channel 5 in the New York market. Elsewhere check your local listings. There are many stations as we in the audience found out, as we stayed watching Harry, in very entertaining fashion, read a host of station promos.
