Andrea Leoncavallo, photographer phenom, is one of my favorite people. She's vibrant and intensely passionate about what she does, but in a quiet way. She listens because she genuinely wants to hear what you have to say. Then, she captures it in her photography. Her recent and very ambitious project, She Inspires 365, reveals one …

Rest in Peace, June Cleaver
Barbara Billingsley, the actress who played my idol June Cleaver, died today at age 94. People say she embraced being called America's Mom and always had a nice thing to say. Since I make fun of June Cleaver in my act, fawning that I want to be her because repression would be a vacation, I …

The new annual workout!
