Some may covet a Nobel prize, or a Presidency – but not me, the EGOT is where it’s at / is the most worthy of respect. Despite this, winning the EGOT hasn’t always my dream, it wasn’t until my dear friend, icon of stage and screen, Rita Moreno, took at the quinella that I was inspired…

Denise Nicholas
Donna Denise Nicholas (born July 12, 1944) is an American actress and social activist who was involved in the Civil Rights Movement. She is known primarily for her role as high-school guidance counselor Liz McIntyre on the ABC comedy-drama series Room 222, and for her role as Councilwoman Harriet DeLong on the NBC/CBS drama series In the Heat of the Night.
Early life
Nicholas was born in Detroit, Michigan, the daughter of Louise Carolyn and Otto Nicholas. She spent her early years in Detroit. With the remarriage of her mother to Robert Burgen, she moved to Milan, Michigan, a small town south of Ann Arbor. At the age of 16, she appeared on the August 25, 1960, cover of Jet magazine as a future school teacher prospect at the National High School Institute at Northwestern University. She graduated from Milan High School in 1961. Nicholas is the middle child of three, with an older brother, Otto, and a younger sister, Michele, who was murdered.
She entered the University of Michigan as a Pre-Law major. While at Michigan, she switched her major to Latin-American politics, Spanish, and English. She subsequently transferred to Tulane University, where she majored in Fine Arts. Her acting debut was in a Spanish-language play presented by her language class. She left college early to join the Free Southern Theater (FST), during the Civil Rights Movement. After spending two years touring the deep South with the FST, Nicholas went to New York City and joined the Negro Ensemble Company, working in all productions during the first season of that theatre ensemble. From the stage of the St. Mark's Playhouse in New York, Nicholas was cast as Liz McIntyre, the Guidance Counselor on ABC series Room 222. Nicholas received her Bachelor of Arts in Drama from the University of Southern California, after living in Southern California for a number of years.
Career
Nicholas began her television acting career in 1968, with an episode of It Takes a Thief. Following Room 222 (1969–74), she appeared as Harriet DeLong in the cast of NBC/CBS' In the Heat of the Night (1989–95). Nicholas wrote six episodes of the series, beginning her second career as a writer. When that show was cancelled, she enrolled in the Professional Writing Program at the University of Southern California, eventually finding her way to the Journeymen's Writing Workshop under the tutelage of author Janet Fitch. She worked with Fitch for five years. Nicholas also attended the Squaw Valley Community of Writers Workshop, and the Natalie Goldberg Workshop, in Taos, New Mexico.
Her first novel, Freshwater Road, was published by Agate Publishing, in August 2005. it received a starred review in Publishers Weeklyand was selected as one of the best books of 2005 by The Washington Post, The Detroit Free Press, The Atlanta Journal Constitution, Newsday and The Chicago Tribune. The novel won the Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Award for debut fiction in 2006, as well as the American Library Association's Black Caucus Award for debut fiction the same year. Freshwater Road was reprinted by Pocket Books.
Brown University commissioned Nicholas to write a staged adaptation of Freshwater Road, which was presented in May 2008.
Personal life
In 1973, Nicholas married soul singer-songwriter Bill Withers. The couple divorced the next year. Nicholas later married former football player and CBS sports anchor Jim Hill, whom she divorced in 1984.

6 performances that explain Burt Reynolds
Burt Reynolds was the quintessential movie star.
Burt Reynolds, who died on Thursday at the age of 82, was a box-office machine, a movie star, a sex symbol, and a gifted actor. It’s hard to think of one role that best embodied Reynolds’s multi-hyphenate status; his talent and charisma combined to not only make him Hollywood’s top-grossing star from 1978 to 1982, but also one of the most celebrated actors of his generation.
In honor of Reynolds’s multifaceted and storied career, here are six performances that explain his legacy.
Deliverance (1972)
youtube
Burt Reynolds didn’t come out of nowhere when he burst into superstardom in John Boorman’s classic tale of wilderness survival. He had most notably starred for several seasons in a supporting role in the popular TV Western Gunsmoke. But it was Deliverance that pushed Reynolds to the world-dominating stardom he enjoyed for the rest of the 1970s and the early 1980s.
In the film — a big hit that was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars — Reynolds plays an experienced outdoorsman who embarks on a canoeing trip through rural Georgia with some friends, only to see a peaceful weekend descend into hell after locals decide to seek revenge on another member of the party who mocked them. By the time the weekend is over, Lewis will have committed murder, been injured, and seen a friend die.
Reynolds’s swagger made Lewis the most magnetic character in the movie, even though Jon Voight was technically the lead character and Lewis spends much of the film’s second half hobbled by a broken leg. It was as potent a launch to superstardom as an actor could have asked for. —Todd VanDerWerff
Smokey and the Bandit (1977)
youtube
In many ways, the role Reynolds is most well-known for is also the one that typifies his career and his public persona. Smokey and the Bandit’s languorous but snarky down-home rebel “Bandit” Darville epitomized the kind of cheekily regressive sub-strain of ’70s machismo that Reynolds would embody for most of his life.
Directed by Reynold’s lifelong pal, stunt legend Hal Needham, Smokey and the Bandit paints fast cars, fast quips, fast punches, and a steady supply of drunken carousing as a sort of remodeled redneck American dream. As Bandit puts it in the above clip, he’s ready to do his dangerous long-haul booze run out of the same principles that Reynolds himself would apply to most of his real-life decision-making: “for the good old American life, for the money, for the glory — and for the fun.” —Aja Romano
The Cannonball Run (1981)
youtube
The Cannonball Run has a well-earned reputation as glossy, exploitative trash (the New York Times, being kind, called it “inoffensive and sometimes funny”; Roger Ebert called it “an abdication of artistic responsibility at the lowest possible level of ambition”). But it features Reynolds, playing a good ol’ boy street racer, at perhaps the most perfect distillation of his Reynolds-osity. His brand of self-consciously beautiful, self-consciously virile masculinity is so heightened and so laced with irony as to become a burlesque long before he dons drag. —Constance Grady
Evening Shade (1990–1994)
youtube
By the late 1980s, Reynolds’s star had dimmed considerably. His brand of smirking heroism had been shoved aside by muscle-bound action stars of the era, like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he also had a knack for choosing exactly the wrong roles. He turned down a supporting part in Terms of Endearment that later won Jack Nicholson an Oscar, and he also turned down the lead role in Die Hard, which made Bruce Willis the heir apparent to Reynolds’s “regular guy who gets out of crazy scrapes” screen persona.
After a brief run of trying things that weren’t in his wheelhouse (including a musical and several straight rom-coms), Reynolds turned to television, first providing the voice of an alien for the fantasy comedy Out of This World (which somehow ran four years) and then starring as a private eye on the one-season series B.L. Stryker.
But it was this CBS sitcom that won Reynolds an Emmy and actually garnered an audience. Set in the small town of Evening Shade, Arkansas, the series is middling when it comes to the quality of its actual jokes, but Reynolds attracted a top-flight cast, including everybody from Charles Durning to Marilu Henner to Ossie Davis.
Reynolds didn’t have to stretch far to play an injured football player fallen on hard times, but he seemed to intuitively understand that TV doesn’t always require the best acting if it has the right actor for the part. And Reynolds was the right actor for Evening Shade.
(The show’s cancellation is also worth noting, as it was still a relatively high-rated series when it ended, coming in at number 27 in the year-end Nielsen rankings for its fourth season. However, at the time, Reynolds was embroiled in a divorce from actress Loni Anderson, which played out in the tabloids and may have led either to Reynolds requesting the show’s end or the network not wanting to be so closely tied to an ongoing publicity maelstrom. Regardless, Evening Shade ended before its ratings would have suggested it should.) —TV
Boogie Nights (1997)
youtube
Reynolds’s most critically acclaimed performance is one he didn’t like. Critics praised his ruthlessly funny Boogie Nights performance as porn director Jack Horner, a tough and hard-nosed father figure in a film that’s as much a poignant story about family as it is a raucous look at the adult entertainment industry. Reynolds hammers home that duality in his performance, which earned him the only Academy Award nomination of his career, for Best Supporting Actor.
But Reynolds himself said in 2015 that he had never seen the film, and he spoke candidly about how he and the film’s director, Paul Thomas Anderson, did not get along. Reynolds won the 1998 Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Horner, but he lost the Best Supporting Actor Oscar to Robin Williams, who won for Good Will Hunting. —Alex Abad-Santos
Archer (2012)
youtube
Post-Boogie Nights, Reynolds never quite regained his status as a major star — or even a consistently interesting supporting player — but he was called upon frequently to inject a little Burt Reynolds magic into a variety of projects.
That may be why the most fitting role to revisit from Reynolds’s last decade of work is this guest appearance in “The Man from Jupiter,” a season-three episode of the animated series Archer, in which he plays himself. (Reynolds did a lot of that on TV — on The X-Files, he ostensibly played God, but the role was written in the script for “Burt.”) When the titular super-spy meets Reynolds, he can’t help but geek out, even as the two are forced to get to the bottom of a criminal conspiracy in a storyline packed full of references to Reynolds’s biggest hits.
Is it Reynolds’s best work? Nah. Does it embrace the rapscallion’s wink that made him such a major star? Oh, you bet. —TV

Ugh!! We lost another one! Back in 1990 - Burt brought his show, B.L. Stryker to my high school to film. I was one of a few chosen to film a smaller scene. This is me... sharing the screen with the legend himself. It was a very rad experience that I’ll never forget - nor will I forget him offering me a swig of beer out of his Flannigan’s cup. See you later, Burt - have fun smacking Dom Deluise around in Heaven. #legend #mansman #realman #rip #positivity #positivevibes #goodvibes #love #pma #stoked #noelectrons #soulrebel #shaka #aloha #giveback #payitforward #bjj #muaythai #boxing #mma #surf #SUP #SUPsurf #skate #gnar #nothingstoognarly #lifeisrad (at Santaluces Community High School

Lee Corso loves college football.
It's what drives him.
The ESPN GameDay analyst joined me last week on "The Opening Kickoff" on WNSP-FM 105.5 in advance of his appearance on Tuesday at the Team Focus event at the Mobile Convention Center.
Team Focus, which is founded by Mike and Micky Gottfried, is dedicated to teens who are lacking a positive father figure in their lives.
"I'm looking forward to the Team Focus banquet," Corso told me last week. "I'm looking forward to joining Mike Gottfried in Mobile."
Corso explained why he thought Auburn will be a "sleeper" next season.
Corso gave his insight on several other topics, too:
Q. When was the first time you crossed paths with Nick Saban?
Corso: Nick Saban was a safety at Kent State in 1972. I was head coach at University of Louisville. We opened the season with Kent State. That's the first time I ever remembered his name, going over the personnel.
(Kent State coach) Don James was one of the best coaches of all time. He won at Kent State. He went out to Washington and built a tremendous football program. He was one of my best friends.
Q. Of all the places you have been with ESPN GameDay, which is your favorite campus?
Corso: My favorite is Oregon. The Ducks. My favorite mascot is the Duck. He's really funny. I enjoy being with the Duck when I go out there. The show is on at 6 a.m. pacific in the morning. That means they are there all night. The students are there waiting for the show. They are tremendous fans. They have a great football program. Great atmosphere.
Q. Which mascot head is the heaviest or toughest to get on?
Corso: I think it is the Florida Gator. I hate the Florida Gators anyhow, being a Florida State man. I hate to put the Florida Gator head on. The Florida Gator head is long and funny looking. It scrapes my nose. Every time I put that thing on I get scraped and blood comes down my face.
Q. What do you think of Central Florida and its claims to a national championship?
Corso: That's their business. I'm not going to tell them how to run their business or life. They want to do that, they have the choice. They can do whatever they want to do.
Q. What keeps you motives after all these years?
Corso: I love it so much. I love the guys I'm working with. I love college football. I've been involved with college football since 1953. That's a long time as a player, coach and 30 years in television.
Remember one thing about ESPN. People can be critical of them sometimes for being a large corporation but nine years ago I had a stroke and I couldn't talk. That's the way I made my living. ESPN could've dumped me very easy, but they didn't. They helped me and presented me an opportunity to get back on the air. You can say a lot of things about ESPN, but they could've dumped Lee Corso, but they stayed with him and that means a lot to me.
Q. What was the funniest moment on the GameDay set?
Corso: I don't know if it is the funniest, but the most controversial was when I used the "F" word on TV and I got caught. In my speaking, I hesitated in putting on the head and used a bad word.
I became an instant hero on the Internet. I got back and my grandchildren said, "Grandpa, you're a hero now for saying the "F" word.
VIDEO
Q. Who has been your favorite guest?
Corso: I like the celebrities, especially if they are going to talk football. Aaron Rogers was on last year and did a great job. Will Ferrell was my favorite. He's a Southern California guy, and he's really funny. Bill Murray made the headlines by throwing me down and stomped me on the set with Clemson.
I like the celebrities but only if they are into the football because they give us both sides of the picture.
Q. Any chance your former roommate Burt Reynolds will be on the show?
Corso: I talked to him last Monday. He's doing terrific. He doesn't travel much because he has a bad back. I'd love to have him on. He'd be a great show by himself.
He had me come down to West Palm Beach (to be on his TV show B.L. Stryker). He said, "Lee, I want you to come down and be in it." I said, "OK." I went down there and spent the day. He said, "I'll take care of you." About a month later, I got my residual check for $1.28. That's what I got for being on his show.
