What movie and series have you (honestly) seen more than any other?

— For movie, it’s The Apartment by Billy Wilder. It’s just *chef’s kiss* structurally. I love Mr. Baxter’s utter admiration for Ms. Kubelik and her roundabout route to admiration for him. Also, few (if any) people can end a movie better than Billy Wilder. … For television, it’s probably Martin but it’s close. From a pure, comedy standpoint, the show is one of the most underrated in television history. Sincerely, I think Martin Lawrence’s performance is on par with Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy. That’s king and queen (of TV comedy), for me.

Picture yourself driving on a scenic road. It’s night; the weather is warm and the windows are down. What song are you cruising to?

— I’m gonna go with “Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I discovered this song around the time I learned to drive. I can remember my friend Lewis and I, at 16, cruising down Highway 64 on a Summer night to Tarboro (NC) to see a girl we both liked, belting out this song. It was nice; neither of us got the girl.
