I forget, but what was the connection with Geraldo & Freddie? Were they friends from the comedy club days?

Scott
If i remember correctly I thought it sdaid in Maria's book that Freddie invited Geraldo to a comedy club where he would be performing, or that Geraldo was there and Freddie told his mom if he likes me I know I"ll make it.
I can't remember exactly but Geraldo didn't want to do a piece on Freddie because he didn't think he would make it or something like that.
If I have the details mixed up please correct me.

I think Geraldo wrote an article on Freddie for some magazine after he died. I think it's on one of the Freddie sites. I forget which one tho...

I remember reading about it too. Gerarldo Rivera gave his back to Freddie when Freddie was starting on the stand up comedian circuit. Gerarldo made a pretty bad review about him, and Freddie was expecting more about him..you know, being both Puertorican, and all that stuff...Anyway Freddie did not need hime after all

I am not sure of the connections Geraldo might have had with Freddie in life, but he wrote a lengthy article after Freddie's death in the New Yorker Magazine. I am not Geraldo fan, but of all the articles I have read, and I have spent a small fortune on eBay researching the public life of Freddie Prinze, I found this article to be one of the more balanced. I am not sure why really, but what Geraldo has to say makes more sense than most. You may disagree with me, and that is ok. That is the great thing about our country, our freedom to disagree. At any rate, I give you his article. It will take several postings, so bear with me.

BTW the name of the article is "Nobody Ever said 'NO' to Freddie Prinze"
