Bill Cosby and Ben

Mark had an extra ticket to Bill Cosby’s new show and invited me along: the O’Keefe Centre downtown, a big American star, and if that wasn’t enough showbiz for one evening, Ben Vereen did a surprise walk-on just to say hi to his pal, just like they do on the late-night talk shows.
     “Great show,” said Mark at intermission. “And how about Flip Wilson just dropping in like that?”
     Ben Vereen? What the hell had I been thinking? Flip Wilson was way more famous than Ben Vereen, and I’d just blown my best chance of ever seeing him in person.
