Lou Adler, original producer of RHPS, is father to two LA natives, Nic and Cisco Adler.  The announcement of Jack Nicholson was surprising to some, but Lou and Jack sit together at most of the Laker Games, so this paring made great sense to me.  Jack said he would do this for Lou, as long as it did not interfere with his Lakers schedule.
