You are a talk show host. One guest. 60 minutes. Who would it be?

[Mr. Ected]

I'd love to give my old college friend and current U.S. Congressman Chris Carney 60 minutes on center stage.

[woo me with science]

1. Director of CNN News.

Explain yourself.

[Auggie]

2. Dead or alive?

Dead: Lee Harvey Oswald

Alive: Thom Hartmann

[av8rdave]

3. That would depend on dead or alive

Dead: Kurt Vonnegut.

Alive: Nelson Mandela.

[flvegan]

4. They have to stay put? George W. Bush.

I WILL get him to implicate himself on war crimes on television. That's a promise.

I'd even have a "special guest" that night to help me out. A certain Dennis Kucinich.

[LynneSin]

7. Insist you get to use Wonder Woman's 'Lasso of Truth' on him

:D

[flvegan]

8. I think he's too stupid to NOT implicate himself.

I'll be sure to have a little "beverage cart" in the green room for him, so he can have a couple drinks before coming on.

[NewJeffCT]

24. Unfortunately, it won't matter

He could brag about war crimes, and nothing would happen in the interest of putting the past behind us.

[flvegan]

27. Nice post, Pelosi.

[LostinVA]

5. Ashley Greene

Can the interview be in a hot tub???

[flvegan]

10. I came *this* close to picking her...

just to make your head explode.

[LostinVA]

15. dtm

[LynneSin]

6. I find it interesting they aren't even calling that race competitive anymore

I mean that district is die-hard conservative values and should have a republican representives. Of course it doesn't help that the republican was caught beating his mistress (Don Sherwood).

Chris Carney about as middle of the road as they come with democrats but the way that district is designed, a more liberal democrat would not win there. For now I hope he stays with our party so we can keep the balance on the "D" side.

[BurtWorm]

9. I would talk to the go-go dancer in this video

[rug]

11. Hey, he's my Representative! Tell him I said hi from Milford.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. I would like to have two (dead)

but I would like to have seen Mark Twain and Jane Austen together.

[Ishoutandscream2]

13. Dead - John Lennon. Alive - Paul McCartney

Talk about comparing some notes!!!

[guitar man]

14. Carrol Shelby

I could easily do an hour with him, the hardest part would be not doing all day! :D

[frogmarch]

16. Viggo Mortensen

[MissMillie]

17. 60 minutes w/ him?

Um... what I would do wouldn't make it past the censors

[frogmarch]

18. lol. Same here. :-)

[Chan790]

19. Terry Richardson.

One of the greatest living artistic photographers today. Also, he's a fuckin' wild man.

[Taverner]

20. Well being as it is 60, I'll need someone who can talk for 60 minutes

Hence, Gore Vidal

[PassingFair]

21. At this MOMENT, Elizabeth Warren.

I want her on record before they get to her.

[gratuitous]

22. Dick Cavett

gratuitous: "So, Mr. Cavett, thanks for coming on. What's new with you?"

Dick Cavett: {By turns charming, gracious, reminiscing, tall and not-so-tall tales told, and completely spellbinding}

Easiest 60 minutes I'd ever work in my life.

[Orsino]

23. *

This assumes, of course, that he is locked in the studio and can't just flee the first tough questioning he's ever faced.

[WinkyDink]

25. Ricky Martin or Adam Lambert. (Oh, Ashley Greene is a classier answer?!).

I'm a fan of these singers. Sue me.

[Fire Walk With Me]

26. Dead: Allen Ginsberg. Alive: Harlan Ellison.

Both are expert at tearing down the status quo.

[LibDemAlways]

28. Dick Cheney, provided that every time he lied he'd

receive a high voltage shock delivered to his genitals.

[Eyerish]

29. +1

Best answer yet.

[mitchum]

30. Dead: Oscar Levant Alive: David Bowie

Charming men

[AwakeAtLast]

31. Jon Hamm

but I wouldn't be able to talk. Just stare. :loveya:





Yes, a totally frivolous answer, but I'm allowed one every now and then! :D

[Bennyboy]

32. Dead: Jerry Garcia...Alive:Yoko Ono..

Jerry was pretty fascinating guy. "id love to do an interview that wasn't stupid, just something that was on point and really got insdie how he was and how became who he was and how that affected him.

And Yoko. Always been fascinated with her. For me she is one of the most incredible people I can think of.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

33. Beatrix Potter.

[Archae]

34. Dick Cheney.

And I would have all the video of him lying his ass off about 9-11, Saddam, and Al-Qaeda.

I wouldn't let the bastard off the hook, either.

[sohndrsmith]

35. Hm...

Living: Jane Goodall, Barack Obama, Paul Watson, Cenk Uygur, Deepak Chopra

Dead: Abraham Lincoln, my dad, Leonardo Da Vinci, John Lennon, Chief Joseph

for starters. : )

[Skip Intro]

36. gwbush, *, asshole, warmonger, liar, imbecile....

I want him for an hour. Him and cheney. and rice. and rumsfeld. I want to ask them questions, do demonstrations, arrest them on camera.

[zanana1]

37. Barack Obama; who else? nt

[rurallib]

38. Karl Rove on truth serum with Jon Stewart to help me.

[kentauros]

39. Probably someone fictional, like Jeannie or G'Kar

I've interviewed comic book artists and writers (non-super hero comics) and they're often a hoot! I found out that Bob Burden (creator of "The Flaming Carrot") is quite the womanizer, for instance...

But I think I'd find the characters themselves far more interesting and fun. Think of Carl Reiner and Mel Brook's "2000 Year Old Man" for example ;)

[raccoon]

40. Brian Wilson. nt

[jakefrep]

41. Larry King.
