Episode #27: Let's Talk About the Gilded Age
Manage episode 320907515 series 2981344
Oops! Jennifer forgot the show was called Circa SUNDAY Night, and posted this week's episode on Monday. But, we'll forgive her this time because tonight's show is all about the Gilded Age in New York, and as this episode of Circa Sunday Night goes up, a new episode of the HBO drama The Gilded Age is airing as well. Wait...could this have been part of her brilliant plan all along? We'll never know. But what we can say is that tonight's show is weird. One minute we're talking about Downton Abby, the next we're talking about the Vanderbilts, and somewhere in between we're taking a stroll down memory lane with Jennifer as she recounts key moments from high school at her old hometown's soon-to-be-demolished shopping mall. On second thought, it's not so weird; it's just another romp around Circa 19xx Land. Once we leave Jennifer's childhood mall we'll make our way to a sparkling 19th Century dinner party, meet the Mrs. Astor, and learn about the fine art of ormolu. It's all in a night's work. Won't you come along?
Hey, did you know that Jennifer's on YouTube now? Please visit her channel and subscribe. She's desperate.
