I'm Back with Mod Updates!

I’m finally back with some new mod updates! Read on to find out all that is new!

First off, theImproved Visitor NotificationsMod has been updated to work with the latest patches. For some odd reason, it still won’t work in Evergreen Harbor apartments. I’m investigating this and will let you know if I find a fix.

Next up, I added new Wants/Whims to theComedian TraitandGreen Thumb Trait. I’ll soon have most if not all of my traits updated with wants and maybe some fears. Just give me time. 

The following mods have been updated with new Italian translations: Archaeologist Career, Bipolar Trait, Psychotherapy, and Wordsmith Trait.

More new updates and perhaps some new mods are coming up soon!

Prinze Of Comedy

Introduction:

Freddie Prinze had barely swaggered onto the set of “Chico and the Man” before the live studio audience exploded into cheers that threatened to blow off the roof. So loud were they that for a hot minute he and Jack Albertson simply waited before they could launch into dialogue. This was in 1974 during the first season run where Albertson, the Oscar-winning, vaudeville veteran starred opposite the rambunctious, youthful comic Prinze. The pairing captured the imagination of audiences in such a compelling way that around 20 million viewers would tune in each week. 

Prinze in particular brought an indefinable yet totally watchable spark to his performance that is hard to emulate and belongs only to the truly gifted few. In fact, it was Freddies 325 second set on the Johnny Carson Show that sparked his ascendancy into stardom. At the tender age of nineteen, he drew on various themes such as his ethnicity ‘I’m a Hungarican!’, his New York upbringing, ‘the rats wear sneakers and dungarees!’ And of course, the iconic line about the apartment super Mr Rivera, ‘Eees not my chob man!’ The rousing applause led Carson to invite him over to the couch for a chat, simultaneously handing him a pass to comedy immortality. As Carson would remark, ‘you wiped the audience out coast to coast’. Something Prinze continued to do through his role as Chico Rodriguez in the NBC comedy and, most laudably, his stand-up routines.

In the nearly fifty years since this pivotal moment in entertainment, the legacy of Freddie Prinze endures. Not least because of his untimely end but also through his son and namesake Freddie Prinze Jr who grew up on the silver screen and surpassed the life goals his father tragically never got to see. The enormity of this achievement was clearly not lost on Jay Leno when he interviewed Freddie Jr. on the Tonight Show in 1999. After the friendly banter and film promotion, he ended the segment with, ‘you know your old man’s very proud of you’. Leno, a consummate professional, would momentarily show real emotion before collecting himself. After-all, he had been friends with Freddie Sr, even performing stand-up in the HBO on Location special with him and attended his funeral. Fast forward twenty two years and here was Prinze’s son sitting in the very same studio where ‘Chico’ had been filmed decades earlier carrying the family name forward.

Whilst both father and son share the same name, height, dimples and charisma, their contrasting paths within the showbusiness machine make for a compelling story that deserves to be told. Freddie Jr’s evident happiness at bucking the typical Hollywood lifestyle in favour of domestic bliss with his wife of over twenty years Sarah-Michelle Gellar and their two children is almost a vindication of tragedy for his late father.

When Freddie Jr took to the podium during the unveiling of his fathers star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the presence of his mother Kathy, his fathers manager Ron De Blasio, former co-star Della Reese and longtime Prinze fan George Lopez, the emotion was palpable. Fans cheered encouragingly at Freddie Jr as he admitted, between tears, how people honoring the dad he never got to know was incredible.

It also shows that for all the excess, pain, success and rejection Hollywood can dish out in equal measure, there are such things as happy endings in the real world. This is the story of the complexities of family, stardom, and human kindness through the lens of two compelling performers.

It was awesome to be part of the sold out crowd welcome @_bon_qui_qui (Anjelah Johnson) back home to San Jose for a run of shows. She presented a great range of material (her Dad was in the house) and got plenty of laughs from the packed house. We all pretty much lost it when she closed with Nail Salon. It got so rowdy I thought so@wine might call “saccurity”! #svca #siliconvalley #conciergepick #dtsj #theimprov #comedy #anjelahjohnson #nailson #beautifulnail #whateveryoulikeidoforyou #bonquiqui #live #soldout (at San Jose Improv Comedy Club)
