You Get A Spoon in Seattle with Bianca Giaever, Zubin Hensler, and Willem de Koch

WOW! This was a You Get A Spoon for the ages! Not only did we have a fantastic audience including both grandparents (and 10 year old, Nico, who stole the show), but we also had TOVOLO in attendance! Not only are they makers of the world's greatest spoon, but they are also hilarious and wonderful. They brought me this bouquet of spoons before the show, which is the best of all possible things that could have happened:

I started a variety show this year where performers give out their favorite things. Every show, I give out a Tovolo mixing spoon, the greatest spoon in the universe. Last night, I did the show in Seattle for the first time and a bunch of Tovolo employees came and brought me this bouquet of spoons to thank me for my unsolicited and relentless endorsements of their products. I've never been more touched. One step closer to my dream of being the first comedian sponsored by a kitchenware company.
