Welcome to Professor Irving Gussow’s Variety Club! Where East meets West, where ordinary games meet extraordinary people, where entertainers meet entertainees. Professor Irving’s Variety Club will give you the latest information on the East-West cultural encounter, the newest friends on the block and the freshest news and ideas in the entertainment industry. After all, variety is not only plurality of activities but also diversity of experiences.
In the Variety Club, there are three kinds of activities: the first is the Cultural Exchange where Eastern and Western cultures are discussed. One has to understand that Oriental and Occidental cultures are fundamentally different. A Western traveler might be surprised by the countless unwritten and unspoken rules in the East while an Eastern traveler might be taken surprise by the necessity to express one’s own desires most of the time in the West. Learning about these differences will be very useful for those who wish to travel to the West with ease.
The second is the Game Night. This night is all about table games! Whether it is Scrabble, Monopoly, cards, Rummikub, Blokus, Professor Irving’s going to show you the tricks and tips in winning over your opponent with cleverness, wit and style. Who knows? You might be able to win yourself new friends (and possible lifetime partners) due to your improved conversation and analytical skills.
Last, but not least, is the Entertainment Tonight. From movies to TV shows, from pop music to video clips, Entertainment Tonight brings you not only entertainment from watching and listening but also entertainment from discussing opinions and ideas themselves. As a great channel of understanding the nuances and the worldview of Western culture, Entertainment Tonight is definitely a worthwhile activity to be involved in.
