Lots of BUFFALO on TV Monday night

Both THE TRAVEL CHANNEL and Vh1 had a lot about Buffalo Monday night.

Anthony Bourdain's NO RESERVATIONS on the Travel Channel (www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/Anthony_Bourdain) showed Buffalo with local musician Nelson Starr (above left) hitting ULRICH'S Tavern on Ellicott Street for some wings and more, then off to SCHWABL'S on Center Road in West Seneca for some beef-on-weck (a place my Grandfather took me a long time ago), and finally catching Nelson's band at NIETZSCHE'S.

Then The T.O. SHOW really came to Buffalo on Vh1. Great shots of his arrival at the airport to the Maid Of The Mist at The Falls, to the Key To The City on the steps of City Hall all made Buffalo look good.

Did you love The T.O. SHOW?

Did you love the T.O. SHOW on Vh1 Monday night? I must admit I watched it TWICE (they repeated the show after midnight), get me a rented Bentley GTC like he drove around LA. It looks like the scenes in the upcoming episode in Buffalo are awesome, and if his playing here on the Bills this season brings good publicity to the area I say "bring it on!"

Please vote for my buddy VAN!

Please vote for my buddy VAN MILLER, former long-time Sports Director of Channel 4, who's up for induction into the National Radio Hall Of Fame. I had the good fortune to work as Buffalo Bills executive radio producer with Van and Stan Barron back in 1980-1981 during the Bills season's when our sister station WBEN broadcast the games.

Like I always say in a general election "vote early and often" at http://www.radiohof.org/.

Johnny surprises the kids!

Last week Johnny Depp dropped by The Great Ormond Street Hospital in London to surprise sick kids there while he was in the UK to promote his new movie "Public Enemies." Johnny even dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow from "Pirates Of The Caribbean" and visited several wards at the hospital and posed for pictures with kids and staff.

It's not the first time Johnny has been to the hospital, he was there with his daughter Lily-Rose when she was treated for kidney failure back in 2007. Johnny even donated $1.5 MILLION to Great Ormond Street Hospital as a way of thanking them for taking such good care of his daughter during her stay.
