‘Check, Please!’ and host Leslie Sbrocco add a new ingredient: kids




San Francisco Chronicle Arts & Entertainment - Spoken Edition show

Summary: Leslie Sbrocco traces the genesis of “Check, Please! Bay Area Kids” to a note she received from a fan last February. “In her handwritten letter (she wrote), ‘Dear Leslie, I am a huge fan of the show, I am 7 years old and one day I will have your job,” Sbrocco recalls, laughing as she tells the story. “I thought, ‘I love her! This is a girl with gumption!’” The gumption-filled four-part special premieres Thursday, Nov. 29, on KQED-TV.
