What better time than now?

So eve read about my jones for The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and told me I should get Sledge to send me 5 questions to answer. Mind you, the 5 question thing was part of The Daily Show during Craig Kilborn's regime, and Jon only did it during his first week on the job as part of the whole transition thing. But I'll humor her. Here are the questions Sledge sent, along with my answers: 1. George Thorogood: Is he really bad to the bone? Not anymore. He's totally clean. Very nice guy. Although the stories he told... he definitely used to be bad to the bone. One of the funniest stories he told us was about this one time he and his band were playing in Buffalo, and the people in the crowd were riveted to a point just over his head, then in the middle of one of their songs, the audience just got up and walked out. He was told later that the TV mounted over his head was airing the local public access channel at the time, and there there was a guy naked and masturbating on the air while he was performing, and they didn't know. The audience left when the guy was done. 2. Who was originally supposed to play Neo in "The Matrix"? Oh Lord, there was more than one person. Ewan McGregor -- bad career move to do the new Star Wars films than become immortalized in The Matrix -- and Will Smith, who made an even worse career choice by doing Wild Wild West instead of playing Neo. Lord, can you see Will Smith as Neo? "Morpheus, you didn't use that memory flashy-thing on me, did you?" 3. What's the best product for cleaning that hard stain off of the kitchen counter? Simple Green. That stuff'll melt lead. 4. Bill Gates: God Of The World, or Evil Bastard Who Needs To Be Put In His Place? I'll go with Door No. 2, please, Bob. 5. Please name for me at least 5 different writers of ANY Simpsons episode. Umm... Okay, Conan O'Brien, I know that one at least. And I know Matt Groening's written a couple. And David Cohen. Ooh! Ooh! John Frink, who's immortalized the word "glavin" through his namesake on the show. And didn't Al Gore's daughter used to write for The Simpsons too? That last one was hard, with the listing and the writers and the glavin.
