A lack of humility
I made a Julius LaRosa joke about Ellen DeGeneres’ current problems a couple of places on social media yesterday. The LaRosa story happened before I was born, and so it was before my time, but I’d heard about it for years — and I am old enough to at least vaguely remember Arthur Godfrey in his waning days, as a guest star on other people’s shows. Younger people, though, may have no idea what I was talking about.
