I wrote one article for the Buzz section of the DI in 2002. I reviewed the pilot, or one of the first episodes of the NBC drama "American Dreams", mentioned in it that it wasn't "Roseanne", and the whole Buzz team got fired, including me (although the editor said it was unrelated). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Dreams I got the job because my brother, a super senior, knew a guy who worked there.

I saw Roger Ebert at Ebertfest 2005 when Junebug screened. I volunteered as the AV crew in the basement where the CCTV monitors were. Ebert walked through the basement/took a shortcut to get to the other side of the theatre and the crew all waved/said hello. He waved back without turning his head. I got to watch the movie in the auditorium after my shift was complete. He made a playful gesture of his hands (to everyone) when he was on stage.
