Hey, Mr. Producer Jack Gray’s ostensible claim to fame is that he’s a producer for “Anderson Cooper 360” but as his new book Pigeon in a Crosswalk proves, he’s got talent above and beyond bringing dreamy newscasters to the screen. “Pigeon” is an interesting hybrid of a book. It’s part David Sedaris-style memoir, recounting alternately hilarious and heartwarming moments with his funny family. It’s also part career memoir—tracing Gray’s path from wrangling guests for local news in the Boston region to helping CNN craft coverage of major world events in NYC. But, perhaps most importantly, it’s chock-full of his most memorable run-ins with stars—in particular his good friend Kathy Griffin, with whom he shares hilarious holiday celebrations, fabulous sleepovers and no small amount of donuts.
