Herbst to Play Lamont in Debate Rehearsal. Who Will Play Stefanowski?

Cranky fourth-place primary finisher Tim Herbst will essay the role of Ned Lamont in gubernatorial debate rehearsals with Republican Bob Stefanowski. Herbst has been eager for the world to know he’s been cast as Lamont.  The volatile Herbst is an odd choice to play Lamont, whose public demeanor is notably calmer than the litigious Herbst.

Herbst may be in a unique position to offer some insights into Lamont’s debating style. The former Trumbull first selectman enjoys a friendship with Bridgeport’s Joe Ganim, who spent months on the campaign trail appearing with Lamont in their lopsided contest for the Democratic nomination for governor. How to score some attention in the rehearsal room? Practice this, “Hey Bob, what’s DMHAS?”

Who has been cast to play Stefanowski in a Lamont rehearsal. Wags, the late Ted Cassidy is not available.
