At work, we always have a celebrity for our big campaign event at the end of the year. My personal favorite was Henry Winkler (Fonzie from the TV show "Happy Days" for you youngsters). He was the absolute sweetest and nicest celeb I ever met. The most stand-offish was Jon Stewart, but he did do a great show for the crowd we had, which was all college students.

I was not at this year's event, but from what I heard, I'm glad I wasn't. We had Doris Roberts (Marie from "Everybody Loves Raymond"). I heard that she wasn't too nice and that she told a lot of jokes that were offensive to the group that we had. Most were about her mother having sex, and this group is mostly large donors who are not exactly into sex jokes. She said nothing at all about the subject we hired to talk about!

ETA: I should mention that my ex-husband was into wrestling, and we went one night to the bar where they were all hanging out afterward. I met several, but the highlight of the evening was when ex-h went to the men's room and got to pee next to Hulk Hogan.
