I completely forgot that Robby had heart surgery. Hearing that he's had more then one is new to me, but I guess it shouldn't be huh?

Interview with Benson

Interview with Benson

All I know is what they said on the show. He said he is feeling fine
and that the he was playing in a musical/ comedy they he wrote about heart surgery. They played a short clip of him strapped to a
bed. Maybe he should advertise here! Anybody here that lives
in NYC that could shed some light the show?
