Who IS this Tony Bennett? I think we should be told .....
Howza about an interview tonight, Eddie? C'mon, you'd love it, you know you would .... (oh, and so would we!)
Somebody somewhere must have a hotline to God/Tony.
Has Tony ever won a Tony?
.....................Gordon Bennett, enough already

Or has Oscar ever won an Oscar?

Or Emmy an Emmy?
I saw him in Central Park once. He looked very brown and leathery and was with a woman of about one third of his age. He gave my husband and I a regal wave, having been pointed out to us by another chap we were with. I'm afraid I'd had no idea who he was. The name was familiar at best. Upon returning home my husband introduced me to some of Mr Bennett's music (husband's mother was a fan). It was rather good and I now have a couple of CDs.
How dull was that story??? I apologise, but, having typed it, I think I'll post it.
