I'd listen to him read a phonebook




Jeff Goldblum

If only you were a daily guest on Conan, Letterman and Kimmel. You are the best interview ever because you are fascinating to listen to no matter the story.

You tell a story (a short quip or two) while perpetually make side references (little jokes, interesting asides) and weaving this magical tale (I know a guy with a tail) that, that, that seems to ultimately not have a big punch line (I'd hate to be punched...you know what that's like) but still is breathtaking.

You were in one of the greatest movies of all time - The Big Chill. You were in The Life Aquatic, were the best part of the Jurassic Park and Independence Day.

You were also in The Great White Hype...and I forgive you.

Never change. Never stop sub referencing...

  1. He is a master. I don't know why I always feel like he knows some critical information everyone else in a conversation doesn't but is keeping it to himself. Joanna literally ran into him on the street in Rome and said he was about 10'7".
    You forgot his appearance on "Harry Carey's 'Space: The Infinite Frontier"
