A FUNNY CAROL CHANNING STORY

FROM PLAYBILL.COM BY SETH RUDETSKY:



My only complaint about Rent was that there were some moments where the band sounded louder than the singers. It made me recall that classic Carol Channing story. Apparently, after she saw Rent, she came backstage and "complimented" the cast by saying (read this with the Carol Channing accent/enormous smile), "I didn't understand a word you said, but the energy…!"

Oh, wait, I have one more Carol Channing story that Rosie O'Donnell loves to tell. While I was doing Grease with Rosie, she had a chubby Irish dresser named Bobby. Well, cut to Carol coming to visit backstage after the show and waiting with Bobby in the outer dressing room while Rosie is in the shower. Carol was telling him how wonderful the show was, and finally Rosie came into the room. Carol noticed her and said, "Oh! Wasn't Rosie won-der-ful!" This comment seems appropriate, unfortunately when she said "Rosie," she was gesturing towards Bobby! She had literally spent ten minutes talking to Bobby thinking he was Rosie! I don't know who this story is more insulting towards: Carol Channing, Bobby, Rosie or me because not only do I share my dressing room with five other people and there's no shower in it, there isn't even a shower near it. It's upstairs in the men's bathroom. Not cool.

Obviously, the insult was to Bobby, and overall it was a grand compliment to Rosie, because _anything_ would be a step up from the odious appearance she publicly exhibited when performing the second-lead female (!) roll (sic) in that underwhelming revival of "Grease"!
