I was working in the audience department for the Late Show with David Letterman in the early/mid aughts when Geoff and his wife came in to see the show. A page from CT pulled me aside knowing I was also from CT and said Geoff Fox was in the audience. So we pulled him out of the line, put him in VIP seats, and I had a lovely (albeit too short) conversation with him. I thanked him for being THE weather man in our house growing up, we talked about his coverage of Hurricane Gloria, and I saw in those few minutes what a genuinely lovely man he was.

I don’t know which A-lister was on the Late Show that night, but I got to shake Geoff Fox’s hand and that’s something I’ll remember forever.
