Minneapolis, MN
Theater actor and director
Warren had his own "Day" (January 18, 2004) in Minneapolis for his work on the stage. He was told of the honor at 10 PM on January 18, 2004. "Yesterday" was his 18th wedding anniversary (and his wife, Sam, is in the audience). This transcriber assumes that they meant the day before the taping, and not November 11.
