Given the average 2p2'er, I'd think the answer should be Nate Silver. Realistically we'd all probably have way more in common with him than one of the comedy gods like Bill Murray.

Kate Winslet, too. Okay, I'd be trying to boink her, too, but we'd still be great pals.

oh, Norm MacDonald. A degen after my own heart. Funny and down to earth.

My friend used to live in LA and had some mutual friends with Adam Sandler and said he's very cool, just a normal chill guy that you'd never guess is a huge celebrity. Apparently very funny IRL too. He's told me a couple stories that make him seem like a cool person to shoot the **** with.

And Shaq, cuz he just seems cool as ****.

As much as I love Family Guy I've always thought Seth comes off super weird/awkward/kind of dick-ish and not that funny in his interviews.

I had a run-in with Fry in Uganda and he was a grade A tosser. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

I think this thread is a bit silly but I'll bite.

Ted Danson and Alec Baldwin.

I hear Ted Danson has excellent taste in women.

larry david, dave chappelle, mario batali, ellen page

Stephen Malkmus!!!! anyone? ****!

Michael Madsen
Anthony Bourdain
Ron White
Kevin Costner
Olivia Munn
Matthew McConaughey
Slash
Tim Meadows
Sarah Silverman
Gene Wilder
Gene Hackman
Ewan McGregor
Scott Ian

Travis Pastrana

Really stretching the definition of "celebrity" ITT

Nothing beats a Travis Pastrana on rye with mustard and pickle.

I waited on Kevin Costner one time...and this was after I saw him in that Madonna documentary when he came backstage with his wife and seemed really gracious and down to earth, and she mocked him like the haughty bitch she is? But he acted like a douchebag. And didn't come across as too likable on the Bull Durham commentary, either.

I'd remove Slash and McConaughey from that list also, but who knows.

Okay then. I'll swap my Costner pick out for Michael J. Fox.

Nobodys mentioned Ricky Gervais yet?

So weird, I just opened thread to type Ricky Gervais and Karl pilkington

A lot of people already mentioned plus I'd add Bill Hicks

Yep, both Bill Hicks and George Carlin would definitely be on my list, oh and Louis C.K too.

Colin Quinn definitely

Tina Fey
Joe Rogan
Charlie Sheen
Lindsay Lohan

Mila Kunis
Jon Hamm
Dave Chappelle
Tom Hanks
Christina Applegate

i have a feeling hicks and carlin wouldn't be too talkative.
think you'd have to work really hard to get them to open up to you.
feel like you'd have to constantly tell them to liven up.
doubt they'd ever be the life of the party.
okokok i could go on but i won't.

WINNING

I can't speak for Alec, but I actually hung out with his brother (stephen? not sure) for a few hours at a bar one night. He was completely cool and he was telling stories about his family while they were growing up. My wife was surprised when I mentioned it because she told me he was a born-again Christian or something. Everyone was kind of vying to talk to him and I was just rooting for the Phillies on tv and he struck up a conversation (he was a Yankees fan) and I started ripping on the Yanks. Really nice guy, but he seemed like he had a tough paper route.

You know he was a pedophile, right?

I've met a lot of famous people in my life and I can say that many of them are complete douches, but I can understand why. They get tired of people always hitting them up and if you just approach them like normal people (or ignore them) they actually are very grateful. Some really cool ones were Joaquin Pheonix, Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis (but Bruce was really quiet). Some really not-so-nice ones were Mel Gibson and R Kelley. Many sports stars are complete douches too, including coaches. Allen Iverson is straight up an ass.

I'm not a "celebrity" person and think the trend of people being famous for being famous is pretty strange.

That being said, I think I'm the first to say Jack White?

Jack was recently on an episode of American Pickers. He made some trades for an elephant head.



Then there's this Interview article. He asked if Neil Armstrong could do the interview.

My cousin and I have decided that Jack likes us, independent of one another in the same week, which I admit is quite strange. I don't expect anyone outside of the two of us to understand.



Jack likes the number 3, so here's to Jack:
