    The hardest thing about getting older isn't reckoning with your own mortality. It's saying goodbye to everyone who goes before you. My heartfelt condolences to the Foley and Late Show families.

    RIP Jerry... He's up there with Big Red now looking back & laughing about 'Alan Kalter's Celebrity Interviews'.

    I got to sit in the control room and watch him direct an episode. It was so cool to see how the show was made. One thing I never forgot was that the control room people were actually laughing at the monologue jokes. All those years, and they still remembered to smell the roses.

    What a legend. I was fortunate enough to work as an intern on the show in Spring 2005. I sat in the control room when Travolta came on to promote Be Cool. Let’s just say it was an interesting night to be a fly on the wall. 😂 That memory of Jerry will stay with me forever. Would love to see that interview again if it ever makes it to the top of your clip pile.

    Just absolutely love this channel. Dave was always really good & really humorous about showing the nuts & bolts of the show. But the Barbara Gaines show takes it to another level that really just makes you realize how important the people behind the camera were to the show's success. And how they were one big late night TV family that we all now get to feel like we're a part of. RIP Jerry Foley

    That was a terrific piece. The contribution of Jerry and Hal before him in shaping what Dave and company were doing is immeasurable, whether it is cutting to a funny shot of an audience member or how the music performances appeared to the TV audience. A huge loss. RIP.

    Jerry was and always will be a part of my family. I am sorry there wasn't time for me to get to know him better.
    I feel lucky to have met him but am heartbroken as I look back on our last conversation - at the time I felt so certain there would be many more, in which I could spend a bit more time with someone who, looking back, had already become a role model. As a person and in the future a father, I will strive to be more like Jerry. The song at the end of this video really hit me. "I'll be seeing you" - I really do hope so.
    Thank you for what you've done for both our families. I promise you I will be there for Quinn and Antea. You are leaving a huge gap and are irreplaceable, but I will do my best to fill it with support as much as I can.
    Thank you Jerry. I'll be seeing you.

    In my experience the technical director tends to carry a rookie production director in TV broadcasting. But yeah, it is difficult to jump from an operational role to a production role. Often you have to step back as a production assistant or assistant director before getting the director's position.
