This is my first thread, so be nice. :) Anyway, the thread is this:
Name the top 5 people you would want to interview. They can be from past or present. Mine are the following:

In no specific order

Jim Carrey
Conan O'Brien
Steve Buscemi
Matt Groening
Brendon Small

Winston Churchill
Lester B. Pearson
Augustus Caeser
Jim Carrey
John Manley

LAURIEN VAN DEN BROECK! (I'm really trying to interview her, you know).

I'm a piss poor interviewer, so I wouldn't want to do it myself. I really just wanted to give the thumbs up for the Brendon Small choice. I love Home Movies...I'll try to think of a real contribution later.

Tom Petty
Weird Al Yankovic
Corrie Ten Boom
My maternal great grandmother
Robin Williams

This is my first thread, so be nice. :) Anyway, the thread is this:
Name the top 5 people you would want to interview. They can be from past or present.1. Jon Stewart - 'cause he's HOT
2. Jane Austen - I wonder if she was as witty in person as she was in her writing?
....
Hmm, this is difficult, and I have to log off for awhile. I'll get back to you about the other 3!

Jesus
George Bush
George Washington
Einstein
Red Foxx

5 Crispin Glover---- This guy's a real loon. He tried to kick Letterman in the head in an interview gone wrong. I'd love to see him in all his weird glory.

4 John Waters---- What a character! He makes the trashiest, campiest films, and I'd love to see what he's like in real life.

3 Bush ---- Somebody has to ask him the tough questions.

2 Otis Toole ---- One of America's most prolific serial killers. He was a cannibal, rapist, and all around weirdo. He once killed someone because he had a taste for ribs that day. He barbecued the guy's ribs.

1 Jack Chick ---- Is he really as crazy as his tracts make him seem?

George Washington
George W. Bush
Winston Churchill
Adolf Hitler
Abraham Lincoln

I wanna sit in on that serial killer interview commie.....ribs ay?

Nice choice with Crispin Glover, I didn't think of him, but good choice.

Thanks for the compliment; I'm a huge Home Movies fan myself, as you can tell. I see on your public profile you have a quote from Master Shake, so I can tell you are an Adult Swim fan. But take your time; I'm sure you'll think of some interviewees in the future. :)

Thank you. I like to think I have excellent taste.

Richard Feynman
Leonardo da Vinci
Confuscious
David Hume
Roger Bacon

#1: John Lydon (Very intelligent. Great for any sort of interview, really)

#2: George W. Bush (I'd really like to ask him the tough questions, plus humiliate his sorry ass)

#3: Conan O'Brien (You just have to interview the king of Late Night)

#4: Jim Carrey (A loon. Perfect person for a comedic interview)

#5: Joey Ramone (Dead, yes, but if he wasn't, it would be great to ask him a lot of things about the "scene")

Bump. This is an interesting topic. Post, damn it!

In no particular order:

Michael Jackson
Mel Gibson
Oprah Winfrey (yes...interviewee)
Ann Coulter
David Schwimmer

What would you ask Mel Gibson and Oprah about?

Mel... The Passion of the Christ and his religious life. Oprah, just cause she's cool :rolleyes:

I've punched him in the head. He's a big pussy, he looked like he was going to cry. (This is back when he was young before he was famous too).

No wonder that malcolm maclaren ripped those dingleberries off without any fear.

Well, only if you interview Brad and Jennifer at the same time :rolleyes:

You go ahead and interview those people, and I'll interview people who are actually interesting.

I was being sarcastic in my first response, and just padding my post count with the second response. My picks are on page one if you're interested.

Frederick von der Grosse? Now that's a king of Europe. Very liberal man, against capital punishment, and he was a brilliant military leader. He also wrote "Hohenfriedberger Marsch", which can be heard on the movie "Barry Lyndon", during his time in Prussia.

You must hear Hohenfriedberger. It's a truly great marching song.

hmm...

Jesus
Julius Ceasar
Ayrton Senna
Kurt Cobain
George Bush

no...i dont put Cobain on the same level as Jesus, it would just be an interesting interview

How about you have Kurt Cobain interview Jesus?

That would be interesting.

oo good idea actually

John Wilkes Booth
Rasputin
Jack Ruby
Judas Escariot (sp?)
Triumph the insult comic Dog (they can't all be serious)

Then, after Kurt's done interviewing Jesus, we have George W. Bush interview him.

I don't think Jesus would think very highly of Mr. Bush. There'd probably be a fair amount of awkward pauses, just like on Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

I know a lot of you want to interview Dubya to ask the hard questions, but I really think interviewing him would be an exercise in futility, not to mention frustration. The man seems incapable of speaking clearly or sensibly, and without a carefully scripted dialogue for him to follow, I suspect it would be like talking to very drunk person. He would lead you in circles and make no sense at all.

Now, if one were able to inject some truth serum into him, it would be an interesting interview, because you might actually be able to find out if anyone is home upstairs.

Hell... If I didn't have and FBI file before, I'm sure to have one now, with all the spouting off I've done about Bush... :eek:

John Wilkes Booth
Rasputin
Jack Ruby
Judas Escariot (sp?)
Triumph the insult comic Dog (they can't all be serious)

Assuming for the moment that The Bible is true, I'd have to ask this guy...

What the hell were you thinking?
