I worked with Walter when we were both at Alliance and always thought he was a talented executive. Walter – Congrats and good luck!
Worked with Walter at Canwest Global. He’s immensely creative and a highly respected manager. Great for Comedy Central and for Walter.
Thanks for the kind words, Golda and Jack. (Your $20 bucks – CANADIAN – are in the mail.)
It took forever for Comedy to find someone who was willing to work for Ganeless. They called EVERYBODY for this job. Good luck Mr Levitt
