if Michael says MANF or Amarantus tonight,

Won't happen.

First of all he is appearing to promote his new TV show.

Even if Letterman steers him toward a 'what's happening in the PD research field?', he cannot mention companies by name, much less those engaged in only non-primate animal studies.

He has never mentioned a company doing PD research by name on prior Letterman shows, or any TV shows for that matter, as he himself is aware of the danger of raising false hopes in patients like himself. He is also fully aware that sometimes research leads down blind allys.

Secondly he has clearly and repeatedly stated his desire to be treated as primarily a performer who happens to have PD, as opposed to a PD patient who is a performer.

Familiarize yourself with his foundation web site.

There is no mention of AMBS as a CURRENT grant recipient nor is there any reference to AMBS or MANF. None of this info should be construed as 'negative' toward AMBS or its prospects as a company. They are simple facts which are, sadly, too often absent from posts on Ihub about AMBS.

Michael J. Fox's role in new TV comedy mimics his real-life drama

In the family comedy, Fox's character will be the father of two teen-age children and a younger boy, Jennifer Salke, the network's entertainment president, said on Sunday. It will be set in New York City, and filmed there, too, she said.

The real-life disease has left Fox an object of pity-fueled admiration, yet Fox "approaches his life and his work with a lot of irreverence," Salke said.

"It's a family show that has him dealing with work and office relationships as well as dealing with kind of his public persona, which is very real," she said. "You see, he gets a standing ovation everywhere he shows up, and the idea that he's sort of been put up on this pedestal by the country and the world, really. He's just a regular guy, who gets frustrated, who gets mad at having to sit at home."

Fox is meeting this week with actresses who may be cast as his wife on the show.

Fox has appeared in limited roles over the past few years, most notably as a lawyer in CBS' "The Good Wife." But it's his track record as the star of two previous comedy series that has NBC executives eagerly looking forward to the new show. He left ABC's "Spin City" in 2000 after four seasons, saying he hoped to help find a cure for Parkinson's.
