Greg In Hollywood goes to the LA Pride Parade and sees Jeff Hiller, Gio Benitez, Mayor Karen Bass & more!

Had a fabulous time earlier today at the LA Pride Parade which, conveniently for me, begins about a mile from my front door. So just walked over shortly before it was to begin and see Emmy-winner Jeff Hiller (Somebody Somewhere) sitting by himself in a car getting ready to roll. Had a few minutes to say hello and take a few pics (see above). This is a genuinely sweet guy and what a terrific choice for grand marshal.

My usual place for parade watching is in front of Hollywood High School where ABC7 does its live telecast of the parade. Sometimes their camera crews get in the way of a good shot (how dare they!) but mostly it’s a great vantage point for parade watching. ABC’s Gio Benitez (pictured, left) travels from NYC each year top anchor parade coverage which I think is so terrific. Gio is co-host of Good Morning America on the weekends.

Also got to say hello to ABC7 reporter Kevin Ozebek (pictured with me below) who really earns his paycheck on this day interviewing various parade participants including LA Mayor Karen Bass.

Had a great time as usual and was reminded, once again, of all the beautiful and good people there are in this city, in this region, and in this country.
