I used to see him at the bike store just down the street from the Mrs. Doubtfire house. I wanted to go and ask him if everytime he drove past he thought to himself - there is the Mrs. Doubtfire house.

When I was a kid, I rode in the same boat as McLean Stephenson on the It's a Small World ride at Disneyland.

George Clinton (from George Clinton and the P funk All Stars); gave him a ride from the airport to a show.

When i was an intern a long time ago, I ran into Joe Biden on the little train that goes between the Capitol and the Senate office buildings a few times. He was always really nice and would chat, ask questions about where i went to school, how i liked DC, etc. Really nice and friendly, but not in a creepy way at all.

Elena Kagan was a law school professor.

Hung out at a bar in Boston with George Wendt (Norm) from Cheers (this was well after Cheers had ended).

For me, it would probably be Bill Clinton. I grew up in Chappaqua and met him briefly outside a diner. He signed a copy of the NYTimes I had.

I also had a *very* brief interaction with Paul McCartney when he called out a sign I made for one of his concerts, but I don’t know if it counts. He read my sign aloud and said “very cool!” As a massive Beatles fan, it was a real thrill, though.

What about you?

Is that the diner on 117? Love that place.

It was outside Chappaqua Restaurant and Cafe. I guess it doesn’t exist anymore (I had to look it up b/c I haven’t lived there in over a decade).

I’m surprised to see Pizza Station still exists! We used to love that place.

Lance Armstrong - not the most approachable guy
Phil Sims - very tall
Lawrence Taylor - unpredictable
Mark Bavaro - dude is ripped
Bill Parcells (same as Armstrong)

Was once ten feet away from Trump but no interaction

Wife met Jill Clayburgh

Oprah. Nice to everyone especially to our building security staff.

I’m a celebrity nanny. I’ve worked for and met so many famous people. Usually I’m not impressed or star struck with actors/musicians and don’t care about celebs, unless it’s an athlete for a sport I like to watch. Probably the most ridiculous story I have is that time we flew on Sting’s private jet from London to their home in the south of France for a party, with 15 other huge celebs including Aretha Franklin and Elton John. But I do not care unless it’s a baseball star! Working for celebs is harder than regular families and you earn every penny.

Whoopi Goldberg bumped into me in a book aisle and I gave her a sour look. She said “Sorry! Sorry!” in a way that made me laugh.

Jeff Bezos.
