Hey Dan
1. As always…thanks for the detailed comment.
2. James Corden was another Smarless podcast guest that got an UMR page after listening to that episode
3. I suspect that he will soon be a member of the Oracle 1000….as he has been a very busy actor since arriving in Hollywood
4. Looking at the first list…Oracle honors go to Christina Baranski…with three movies.
5. 16 Oscar winners is off to a good start….just imagine how many he would have if he had more time for movies…he currently does his acting roles during the summer…when his late night show does not produce new shows.
Good stuff as always.
Great UMR Page
Thank you Mike HoF.
