A PSA from this Thursday’s show!
Hi, I’m Mark Sam Rosenthal – celebrity. You know, we who are famous bear a tremendous responsibility to give back to the world. For as the good book says in Luke 12:48, “unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required.” I live by that code. So allow me to provide a brief public service announcement on a subject of great public urgency to me: escalator etiquette.
Please, please, please whenever you are on an escalator merely standing still, do something I would never encourage you to do in a voting booth: keep to the right! The left side of the escalator is for the accommodation of those actually using their limbs. And some of us, unlike so many of you, genuinely have somewhere to be. Please respect the rest of the world by realizing – if only for a few brief moments as you laze fatly on an automated stairwell – that you are not the only person in it! We must all share this single Earth – even though, as was the case this afternoon at the 50th Street C/E station, you are large enough to be your own small planet.
And that’s…one to grow on!
