It's beginning to feel a lot like X-Mas. Is there anything more fun than interviewing Ed Asner in his house, surrounded by his look-a-like dog, cat, bird, daughter, granddaughter, Scott, whilst he eats pizza, drinks Ice, takes a pee break, and coughs his ass off, while singing Old Man River, schools us on history, tenacity, repeatedly curses me out, orders Louise around, and charms the pants off of us. Not quite, Matt Lauer. And, I got to sit on Santa’s lap. Sweetest grouch ever... he wore the Santa hat for the whole show. Sweet! I’ll be reading his Grouchy Historian once I finish swooning from the greatest inscription, ever. I cherish this person. I'm in awe of his talents and humanity. This night was a gift beyond measure.
