Just a Minute

A WORD ABOUT THE VIDEO
It was nearly 20 years ago when George appeared in this video, a project created and directed by my then-girlfriend Michele Senecal. It was a clever idea: deliver a comic monologue in just a minute/ We shot a handful of them, which lay hidden away, unedited and unseen on a deteriorating VHS videotape in one of my closets. I had forgotten that my father had taken part in the project; he did two takes and both are included here, including the one where I forgot to give him a countdown to the end of the minute so he'd know when to stop talking. Of course, he wryly comments on that oversight in pure George fashion.
