Change of pants: gimmicks to politics
On assignment with steak.
I was supposed to cover the 80th anniversary dinner at Manhattan’s Gallagher’s Steak House tonight. They invited Jerry Stiller and 80 people named Gallagher. I was going to ask all of the Gallaghers why they thought Jerry Stiller was invited. But when I called up to get my name on the press list, I was told they had overbooked on Gallaghers and celebrities and they had no room for me.
Instead, I’m going to cover something way more interesting that I hadn’t noticed before — a bunch of pollsters talking presidential politics at Baruch College. I’m going to ask them which candidate is most likely to appeal to people named Gallagher and also why they think Jerry Stiller was invited.
