message: Either a simple mistake was made or a reference was interpreted in the intro:
Harry Connick, Jr. (born Joseph Harry Fowler Connick, Jr.; September 11, 1967) is an American singer, actor, composer, and pianist. Connick has sold over 25 million albums worldwide. He is ranked among the top 60 best-selling male artists in the United States since 1952....
The way it is phrased is confusing since it sounds like he was selling albums years before his birth, but more importantly the reference itself makes no reference to a beginning date.  I'm removing references to prior years from the intro, others are welcome to rectify it with an accurate revision that does not include original research.70.127.69.15 (talk) 18:12, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Clerical Error in the Intro

message: Needs a rework. One part of the "Hey, Hey" format is the small segment known as "Red Faces", in which amateur talent performs under the highly critical eye of the panel of regular and guest judges, and always under threat of thus being gonged off (gong: essentially the Hook, for American readers). Red Faces has long been notable for its amateur acts of wildly varying quality, often sending up themselves or other well-known figures either by their piece,  or (more often) by the very lack of their talent. The Jackson Jive piece was a pop-group costume parody in that tradition - more chutzpah than talent, typical of the genre. Whether it could be seen as, or criticised, as "black face" is highly debatable. Either way, Connick over-reacted but was given a polite hearing. In Australia, we're all too used to visiting Americans, from Ambassadors through over-paid executives and on down the food chain to minor show biz persons, who though guests in our country choose to abuse that privelege by throwing their weight around in the course of their brief stays. Being a tolerant society, we don't shoot people we disagree with or because of the colour of their skin. We simply let them shoot their mouths off and then let them go home.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.254.92.69 (talk) 10:36, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The first 10 paragraphs at least read like a puff piece.  Wikipedia monitors should review the edits for suck puppetry; and compare it to a biographical article about another entertainment figure of comparable importance, or unimportance.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.161.253.218 (talk) 01:29, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Challenged NPOV 

message: The intro states that Connick is a conductor, but the word "conduct" appears nowhere else on the page. As far as I can tell, he has conducting credits for his second Xmas album. I could not find any other mention of his conducting work.
Does a "one-off" piece of conducting on one of his own albums qualify him for this title? It appears he has done no training for the role. 
I'd suggest removing this word from the page as it is an exaggeration and simply adds complexity, masking what he *really* is by adding to the long string of working roles listed.

message: The new image of Harry Connick, Jr. with his daughter Kate does not appear correctly in Safari. It looks distorted as if it's being viewed through an x-ray machine.

message: At the very end of the first episode of season 13 of American Idol, there was a sequence of how many of the participants don't even know who the "third judge" (Harry Connick, Jr.) is. Then we were introduced to a contestant from Texas of Pakistani origin Munfarid Zaidi, a 19 year old fan, who was visibly star-struck by Harry Connick, Jr. and said: "I read your Wikipedia page every day before going to sleep" which prompted Harry to respond: "You know who I am!" before running over and picking Munfarid Zaidi up cradling him and letting him sing a verse or two in his arms.... The two other judges Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez were just giggling as Harry was heard saying "Give him his ticket". "Why was he cradling you?" Ryan Seacrest asked. "Because I love him" the 19-year-old from Texas said. Here's the report. Another report about this in London's Daily Mail. So here's to all contributors to this page... And here's to our hero Munfarid who I sincerely hope reads the Wikipedia talk page of Harry Connick, Jr. just as well. We want to let you know you made us all so happy and we are just praying that you go ahead as far as possible in the contest... But seriously.... Wikipedia is getting real mainstream with so many checking it and referring to it. werldwayd (talk) 06:28, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Right now this looks ridiculous with Superbowl and Idol as seemingly "fictional" and the Nascar etc as "non-fictional"... Either clean this mess up or put it all back into "Television". --5.146.47.110 (talk) 20:14, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

message: Harry also played professionally in local jazz clubs while he was under age. The current article makes it sound like he played some before age 18, and then had his "big break" when he was in his 20s. I've looked for sources, but as he was playing in clubs well before the World Wide Web, someone else will have to put in the effort to find references, or I'll have to do it when I have more free time.
