Utterly wonderful.

Thanks. I'm glad everyone enjoyed it. Harvey is incredible. 86 and doesn't miss a beat.

That was priceless, Harvey is quite a character. God bless him at 86 and sharp as a tack. Greatly appreciated Andy.

Andy, that was excellent. I enjoyed it greatly and sat there with a smile the entire time.
I'm sorry that it was only 30 minutes, I could have watched that for hours.

Thanks for posting

It took about 3 seconds to start smiling at that. It feels good that Harvey Pack is still so lucid and hilarious. It must be cool playing hosses at age 86. They should give him a key to the city or something like that. Imagine if he came out of retirement for one more show.
