I heart heart heart this man.
(and also Dave Holmes. Can’t wait for his “Friday 40” game show to come to New York in May. I got to play it in LA once and it was a blast. Also, check out Dave on Jimmy Pardo’s “Never Not Funny” podcast. He is absolutely one of the best guests ever.)
The hero pilot from today’s USAir-on-the-Hudson story? His name is…
Chesley B. Sullenberger.
Surprisingly, he does not wear a top hat and monocle or have a curly moustache. But I do expect him to open a restaurant with streetsigns on exposed brick walls, and you would totally go there to eat potato skins and watch the game on 3 big-screen TVs. See you at Chesley B. Sullenberger’s, man- bring your appetite.
