That’s Broadway, Folks
Some angel from above gifted the NYTimes with the transcript of Jeremy Piven’s arbitration hearing. As a result, we have this hilarious exchange between producer Jeffrey Richards and Piven’s doctor:
“Soon after, Mr. Richards and Dr. Colker had a heated phone conversation, which ended when Dr. Colker abruptly hung up. According to Dr. Colker’s testimony, Mr. Richards called back to say he had secretly recorded their first phone call — then hung up himself. A bit later, Dr. Colker testified, he received a call from a person identifying himself as a USA Today reporter and claiming to have the tape recording. Dr. Colker said he believed the caller was Mr. Richards, disguising his voice. Mr. Richards denied that, and said he had in fact not taped the first call.”
First of all, I’m pretty sure a secretly recorded phone call would be illegal or at least inadmissible. Secondofly, why would you claim to be from USAToday? At least say you’re from the Post or something slightly more believable. And finally, HOW OLD ARE YOU PEOPLE?! These are the actions of 10 year olds. Of course, I suppose in the acting community, that’s fairly mature.
