It's Friday, May 2, 2025 from peach fish Productions. It's the Gist. I'm Mike Peska. It's a funny you should mention. Friday we have the very funny Michelle Bouteau. She recently became the first female comic to tape a special at Radio City Music Hall. But sometimes I like to lead with a little bit of the news. So I was scanning the news and I found this story in York Times. What green card holders should know in preparing to travel outside the US And I could read the story to you, I could summarize it, but it was weird. I've never seen that big headline. And the story was just don't. Just the word don't. I guess that's terse. Guess that's the axiosing of all news. So, Michelle Bhuto from Survival of the Thickest Standup Comedian and like I said, set this record or milestone. First female comedian to tape a special in in Radio City Music Hall. I was wondering who has the most performances ever at Radio City Music Hall? Someone who might not shock you. I was first thinking maybe Sammy Davis Jr. He played a lot at the Apollo. The answer is Barry Manilow. Barry Manilow set a record with 53, I believe. But when he set the record they gave him a plaque and it was in the 40s. And so I was trying to find, all right, whose record did he break? And quite unhelpfully, some of the sources say he broke his own record. Yes, this is how records work, right? Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds, Alexander Ovechkin. Right. He breaks the record for most goals and then he keeps breaking his own record. But there is just no documentation in any of the write ups which all seem to come from a press release that the Rockettes gave Barry Manilow a plaque for most performances. No one says whose record did he break? I spent way too much time trying to find this out. I hoped it was Liberace. I think it might have been Sinatra. Set. Listen, FM says it was Sinatra. Then again, they don't have an individual listing for my leader in the clubhouse. Sammy Davis Jr. Let's just think and hope it was Radio City Music Hall. Lot of history. Built in 1931 as part of the plot of land that was to include. Well, they wanted to call the whole thing Radio City because the plan I'll read from a New York Times article in 31. The plan is reported to be sponsored by the radio. Keith Orpheum.
