You even present yourself as a similarly ordinary person by sharing your own stories from time to time. 1. Being aware of your popularity, do you feel like a celebrity? Is there a part of yourself you have to put away nowadays to continue to deliver in the same humble tone that makes us proud to know and love your show? 2. How many hours per week do you currently spend watching television? 3. I learned about The Dishes, a Chicago punk band, from an interlude in one of your episodes. Do a lot of musicians and labels ask you to use their music on your show? Are your decisions based on your personal taste? 4. Are you a visual artist in any way? 5. Describe a hard day at the office. 6. What do you do to blow off steam? Any guilty pleasures? Thank you!
