Godard attended Emory University , graduating in 1960 with a Chemistry degree. Godard was admitted to Emory's school of medicine but instead chose show business. Before taking the job on ''Late Night'', Godard was an announcer on '' The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson ''. Since 1999, Godard has also served as announcer for NBC's annual telecast of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade . On ''Late Night with Conan O'Brien'', when he is used in sketches, Godard's character is blatantly homosexual, and has an affinity for young Asian men (preferably wearing Speedos). His character will often pine for "the sweet release of death" and detail how his life is miserable (i.e., "My life is a septic tank filled to overflowing"), but he will say all these things in his cheery announcer voice and while flashing an open-mouthed smile, his trademark. In real life, however, Joel has been happily married since 1983 , and has two children. EXTERNAL LINKS |
