Harry Connick Jr. Has a New Talk Show

Harry Connick Jr. is a man of many talents, from performing on Broadway to appearing in many diverse films and television shows. He performed in both “Thou Shalt Not” and “The Pajama Game” on Broadway. He acted in “Independence Day” and “Dolphin Tale,” even having a role on “Will & Grace.”

Over the years, he has built up a large fan base in many different genres, as well as, his career as an award-winning jazz musician and singer. Now you can find him on Monday on his new daytime talk show “Harry.”

He feels that this talk show is the most fulfilling thing he has done and he is both lucky and blessed. Even if he just got to do it for a couple of weeks and the ratings ended up to be terrible, he still feels like this is something he has always wanted to do.

The masculine name Harry is a Medieval English version of Henry, but in modern times it is now a diminutive of Harold as well. The name Henry is taken from the Germanic language and means “home ruler.” On the other hand, Harold is derived from the Old English name Hereweald, which comes from two elements: here meaning “army” and weald meaning “power, leader, ruler.”

The name Harry became popular in the English-speaking world after the famous American president Harry S. Truman. It is even the name of a fictional character from a popular series of books by J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter.”
