Dennis Blair's journey into comedy started by accident—but what a ride it's been. Originally a musician and songwriter, Blair stumbled into stand-up when his musical parodies unexpectedly stole the show. That moment of unexpected laughter led him to open for comedy icons, work alongside legends like Rodney Dangerfield and George Carlin, and write for some of the biggest names in entertainment. With a career spanning decades, Blair shares unforgettable behind-the-scenes stories, from writing Rappin' Rodney to witnessing the quirks of some of Hollywood's most legendary comedians.   Episode Highlights: Opening for Legends – Rodney Dangerfield discovered Blair early on, leading to years of touring with him, Joan Rivers, and George Carlin. Behind the Scenes of Easy Money – Writing for Dangerfield meant constant joke revisions and hilarious Hollywood chaos. Rodney's Wildest Moments – From limo rides gone wrong to infamous wardrobe malfunctions, Blair saw it all. From Comedy Clubs to Concert Arenas – Blair's musical comedy act made him the perfect opener for The Beach Boys, Barry Manilow, Gloria Estefan, and more. Writing for the Greats – A tag here, a punchline there—Blair even contributed jokes to Carlin's act, an honor for any comedian. Touring with Legends – His book shares untold stories of life on the road with entertainment's biggest names.   You're going to love my conversation with Dennis Blair Website Book: Touring with Legends Facebook Instagram YouTube Follow Jeff Dwoskin (host): Jeff Dwoskin on Twitter The Jeff Dwoskin Show podcast on Twitter Podcast website Podcast on Instagram Join my mailing list Subscribe to my Youtube channel (watch Crossing the Streams!)

As the impact of technology gains increasing strategic importance in the U.S.-China relationship, we launched Navigating China's Technological Rise, a series of virtual programs featuring conversations with leading experts on the critical issues and policies affecting the technology industry and its impact on Sino-American ties. Former National Intelligence Director and Commander in Chief of the U.S. Pacific Command Admiral Dennis Blair was the featured speaker for the first event in the series, “Charting a Course from Competition to Collaboration,” on April 23, 2020. Admiral Blair, also a National Committee director, discussed the rise of China's technological capabilities, the related strategic challenges, and how a U.S. approach can best balance regulation and collaboration. The discussion and Q&A was moderated by NCUSCR President Stephen Orlins.
