Season Finale of “How’d You Get So Rich?”

Tomorrow night at 10 on TV LAND, I’m going out with a bang with my latest batch of Richies!

 

Tomorrow on the season finale of “How’d You Get So Rich?” I visit the 55,000-square-foot lavish mansion of a Croatian immigrant named Robert Herjavec who grew up with dirt floors and no running water. His hard work has paid off: He now has his own ballroom to dance in, paints his walls with liquid gold and swims laps in an indoor pool that he doesn’t heat! Some people call that frugal or thrifty but I call it cheap and chilly! He also has seven different Lamborghinis, each in a different color for every day of the week.

 

I’ll also introduce you to Timothy Corrigan, an ad exec who left the corporate world at age 40 to become an interior decorator. Now he’s decorating his own castle with antiques and art that are worth millions!  He once bought a single piece of furniture worth $4 million! I think this rich king’s castle could use a queen like me!

 

I love the stories behind how these two guys got so rich, and I know you will too! Tune in to TV Land on Wednesday at 10pm!!!

The Inventor of the Slanket on "How'd You Get So Rich?"

That’s right, tomorrow night on “How’d You Get So Rich?” you’re going to meet our youngest millionaire yet…the guy who invented the Slanket. He was chilly so his mother cut holes in his blanket while he was in college.  Honest to God…you’re not going to believe his story.

 

Also, I get to know a couple from Canada that was so broke when they got married, they served pizzas at their wedding.  Now, they’re billionaires!!!

 

Finally, I drop in on a guy from Milwaukee who is so rich, his annual clothing budget is over $1 million. And where does he keep his couture? On a giant electric rotating rack, of course, that would rival your local dry cleaners.

Tune in to “How’d You Get So Rich?” this Wednesday at
10pm on TV Land to meet these hard-working Americans (and Canadians) who made it big!

The New Vegas!

Even though all the hotels, clubs and casinos in Vegas are new, the hookers are still the same.  In fact, many of the same girls I used to see walking the boulevard 25 years ago are still here, except now they wear orthopedic shoes instead of stilettos.

 

One hooker I saw was so old, she had a tattoo on her breast that said, “George Washington Slept Here.” Another one was so old, a guy asked her, “Around the World for $100?” She looked at him and said, “How about $35 and I’ll get off in Cleveland.”

 

The showgirls, thank God, are still young, gorgeous and dumb! I saw one girl hanging around a high-roller at the black jack tables last night. When he said to the dealer, “Double down,” she took off her top.

 

Don’t forget, I’ll be back in Las Vegas at the Venetian Showroom from Thursday, September 3rd through the 5th! Come see me!!!

I’m in VEGAS, VEGAS, VEGAS!

The first of my shows at the Venetian Showroom in Las Vegas was last night and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be back in town! I especially love the Venetian Hotel, where I’m performing. It’s gorgeous and it makes you feel like you’re really in Italy In fact, I walked by a roulette table last night and it pinched me on the behind.

 

It’s been nearly a decade since I played this town and boy have a lot of things changed! When I used to perform in Vegas, all of the shows starred married couples. You had Steve & Eydie, Sonny & Cher and my favorites, Siegfried & Roy.  One thing, though, has stayed the same—Vegas is the only place where you can see Cher, Bette Midler, Celine Dion and me, Joan Rivers, all in one night and all played by the same man.

 

Don’t forget, showgirls and cow boys, I’ll be at the Venetian Showroom tonight and tomorrow night and then September 3rd through the 5th!!!
