Then on any dinosaur click the facts button a couple of times and you’ll hear some fun dinosaur facts from me!

Here is the final podcast I produced for the Jim Henson Company. It may be one of my favorites. Merry Christmas to all!
I’m making a return to ‘actual theatre’ for the first time in a long time in a new show called THE LAST TELETHON. It’s a crazy show about Jerry Lewis raising money to get his film “The Day The Clown Cried” remade. It’s a must see. The cast is incredible and I’m in it too. Here’s the info:
THE LAST TELETHON
Written By & Starring Mark Amato as Jerry Lewis
