Why, I would love fresh ground pepper on that! Thanks for asking!

About Me

Originally from Chicago, now in LA. Comedian, tv host, actor- a shocking thing to find in Hollywood. I love foreign travel- recent trips were to Japan, Ireland, Brazil, Scotland and Costa Rica. I travel alone on occasion. I find often it's a lot easier and you meet more people along the way. I hate it when you talk on your cellphone in the airplane and the elevator. I love it when you move over to let me pass in the left lane. I also love it when you spell correctly. I love spicy food. I hate spinach, but enjoy broccoli and asparagus.

My Interests

I like good conversation, people with SENSES of HUMOR, intelligent thought, international travel (I need more contacts abroad), English Premiership Football (honest!), outdoor sports (softball, hiking, scuba, beach volleyball, etc. etc.), a vodka martini (with a twist -no olives!).

I'd like to meet:

Steve. Have you seen him? He was supposed to meet me here...

Music:

Beatles, U2, Sex Pistols, The Jam, Paul Weller, Green Day, Graham Parker, Crowded House, Neil Finn, Al Green, Fountains of Wayne, Bob Marley, Toots and the Maytals, Old school punk, soul, funk, and cheesy 70's singles. K-Tel rocks!

Movies:

Annie Hall, Apocalypse Now, Boogie Nights, Almost Famous, Election, Caddyshack, Animal House, Fletch, Godfather, documentaries of all kinds, blah blah blah this could go on forever...

Television:

Daily Show, The Office (UK and US versions), Rome, Sopranos, Deadwood, Simpsons, Six Feet Under, Family Guy, Flight of the Conchords, Discovery Channel, HGTV, Fine Living Network, and any show where people can build stuff from nothing...still amazes me. And of course: TBS Movie Extra, What You Get For the Money, and If Walls Could Talk (shameless plug- I host those)

Books:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Confederacy of Dunces, Please Kill Me, Black Hawk Down, Autobiography of Malcolm X, About a Boy, High Fidelity, various biographies, and I'm a full-on magazine junkie, as long as it's not Hollywood gossip rags.
