These are seasoned players who were thrown off their game, And they weren’t even sleeping there!
They were going to hotels!
It holds a special place for both Rich and I, says Grodner.
We loved doing the show.
We thought it worked out really, really well.
It’s a great way to bring back alumni in a unique manner.
While it’s not happening this year, it could resurface.
