Real estate CEOs take their schtick to the stage

Real estate bigwigs brought their "A" game to David Moore's "Funny Business" comedy show for charity at Caroline's comedy club in Times Square last Thursday night (see highlights in the video below). Stephen Siegel, chairman of global brokerage at CB Richard Ellis, told jokes about the down real estate market, the bad job market and at least one that was not family friendly. The show also featured schtick by Jonathan Tisch, chief executive of Loews Hotels, who sang a rendition of the Frank Sinatra song "It was a very good year." He started out: "When I was 53 -- it was a very good year -- it was a very good year for hotel chains and travel. The money flowed free. It was before AIG. It was 2006." And Stew Leonard, president and CEO of popular grocery chain Stew Leonard, told a Madoff joke. The charity comedy show was hosted by David Moore, CEO of Register.com and vice chairman of private jet company Marquis Jet. TRD
