An Awkward as Hell Out-of-Office Encounter with a Celeb
- I spotted a familiar face -- the guy from Queer Eye, the judge from Iron Chef and Top Chef, the host of Food Detectives and Chopped... standing right in front of me on line at Duane Reade! I couldn't for the life of me remember his name, but I also couldn't help but say something...
- ...
- Me: I hate to be rude but... don't you have a show?
- TA: Yes.
- Me: ... Several shows?
- TA: Yes.
- Me: OHMYGOD! ...Wonderful. Oh wow.
- TA: ...
- ...
- (sticks out hand)
- Hi, I'm Ted.
- Me: I'm ____.
- TA: Nice to meet you. I work right around here.
- Me: Me too! Right around here.
- ...
- Didn't one of your shows come out recently?
- TA: Yes, (unintelligible.)
- Me: I'm sorry, which one?
- TA: Chopped.
- Me: Oh right! You're also on,
- TA: Food Detectives?
- Me: Food Detectives, yes! That's awesome.
- ...
- ... Which one is your favorite?
- TA: Chopped. It's faster, more exciting...
- Me: How is that going?
- TA: It's going great! Our viewership goes up every week. It's actually on tonight!
- Me: Oh great! I'll definitely check it out.
- TA: (smiles and turns to the cashier to buy something)
- Well, have a good day.
- Me: Moo too, thanks!
