I have no idea who this is, but equally impressive I did meet Skippy from Family Ties.


Pp here. Meetng Skippy is actually more impressive. BUT not partying-at-my-house impressive.

He's a jerk, by so many accounts. I haven't met him but I went to a film panel thing he was on. He looked like a caveman in person- gigantic head, hunched over...

I have met Sonia Sotomayor, Sandra Boynton, Joshua Bell, Conan O'Brien, Andy Richter, Carson Daly, Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall), Topher Grace, Bill Paxton (R.I.P.), various Whose Line is it Anyway people, Mike Myers, Kate Flannery from The Office (which I never watched, I met her before that) and lots of bands/ musicians. I worked in the music industry for a looong time. I was probably the most nervous meeting Scott Thompson, because I had been a fan for so long (and by that time I had generally gotten over my fear/ awe of famous people, since I worked for them, but for some reason, I was very anxious). He was so sweet.

I avoided bumping into Blythe Danner (literally) at the NY Film Festival last year. She's so tall, she would have knocked me right over.


I'm PP. I forgot Richard Kiley! I worked in a cafe one summer and brought him a lemon poppy muffin and coffee every morning.


Alan Arkin, forgot him too. Not adding any more.


PP here. Adding more! I forgot Jon Stewart- he's a short man who clearly wears massive shoe lifts/ has a complex. He was shorter than me when I met him (I'm 5'2", had 1" heel on) but I ran into a celebrity in fall 2016 that he had recently been photographed with. The celebrity is taller than I, but in photos from this past year, Jon Stewart is an inch taller than the celebrity. Tiny man, trying to be big.


Addressing the bolded. I've met Jon Stewart as well - several times. He wasn't shorter than you. I'm 4'11", my sister is 5'4", and he's taller than her. There are no lifts that are going to give him that much of a boost. He'd have to be in stilettos. It sounds like you don't like him for whatever reason, and that's fine, but there's no need to blatantly lie. You're not getting points for it. Tiny PP, trying to be big.


He absolutely was shorter than I was. I have no beef with him, or I would not have been backstage at his show. It's okay if you don't agree. People saw it, and said to me when he ran by "Boy, he's so short!" Because he is.


Height isn't an opinion. Height is a fact. And not an alternative one. He is 5'5" at the very shortest, which puts him on the small end of the spectrum as far as male celebs go, but there's no way he was closer to my height than taller than my sister. Sorry.

I agree with this. On the Daily Show, Jon Stewart would joke all the time that he was a "tiny man." If he has a complex about his height, he certainly readily jokes about it.

Nice soccer legs though.

Hulk Hogan in the Miami airport, LOL. I was 25 and asked to take a picture with him. I wouldn't say he was overly gregarious, but he didn't scoff or anything like that. I was pleasantly surprised.
