The Witty and Urbane Garrison Keillor in 1985
It's rare when anyone can keep up with the gapped toothed one, let alone, match him, but the great Garrison Keillor is one who can. Don't be fooled by his laconic demeanor, GK is, inch for inch, one of the quickest minds around. One need only listend to his weekly monologues on his classic long running NPR radio program, A Prairie Home Companion, to hear him extemporize. He has notes, sure, but I've seen the show live, and he rarely looks at them. Even on radio, he looks out at the audience and you can tell his mind is constantly working. Here he is promoting one of his early books, "Lake Wobegon days", and he jousts with Dave about the New York Times bestseller list of books. Listen to his clever remarks about his non-competition Jackie Collins. Well done Gary! Even at 43, you were at the top of your Game~

Live Halloween performance of "A Prairie Home Companion"
Seen on Halloween, 2005, just weeks after wrapping the Robert Altman film; "Prarie Home Companion", this live show was enjoyed after taking a long train ride from the west coast to cold, humid Saint Paul, Minnesota, where Garrison Keillor has performed his classic live radio show at the Fitzgerald theater since 1974. This particular night they were doing a sketch where the great Sue Scott was rebelling against GK for not using her enough. Fun to see it live on stage after hearing it on the radio for so long. They have a blast doing it and this show is a genuine holdover from the real live radio days in the 1930's-50's in this country. Thank god for garrison Keillor, an actual bonifide Renaissance man in our time.
