Bruce Vilanch talks IT SEEMED LIKE A BAD IDEA AT THE TIME at B&N The Grove

Join on March 6, 2025, as we welcome Bruce Vilanch to discuss .

“Bruce Vilanch, a storyteller without peer, has written a tell-all . . . on himself! And it’s hilarious! He’s finally coming clean and owning up to his part in creating some of the worst television of the twentieth century, and that’s saying a lot. There’s no one like him. As they’ve been saying since I discovered him as a cub reporter at the Chicago Tribune, when you’re in a pinch . . . Get Bruce!” —BETTE MIDLER
