I was working in a kitchen and David hasselhoff came to eat (I live in Austria) so we asked him for a group photo and he obliged, dude was pretty cool about it.

Chat-GPT

I've been to Garth Brooks' house.

I was next to Al Sharpton at the airport in DC once. I didn't meet him, though. I was too tired to try to strike up a conversation. He is VERY short. You don't really see that on TV.

Not sure who'd be the most famous:

• Mae Jemison

• John Carter Cash

• Anthony Rizzo

• Jason Heyward

Stephen Covey.

Sam Abell from National Geographic: He was really nice, bought me a coffee and gave me photography advice as a thank you for showing him to the nearest coffee shop!

Quite literally bumped into Jacob Rees-Mogg in Chelsea. He looked terrified without his nanny around.

Erykah Badu, I did some work at her house a few times. She was very nice when I spoke with her, but usually I dealt with another lady. The first time I rolled up I figured she would be cool when I saw "FORGIVE" spray-painted across her garage.

Hard to say.

Maybe Louis CK before all that stuff. Twice actually. He was nice, and a bit shy each time.

I met a lot of other comics. Hannibal Burress, Judah Freidlander, Jim Jeffries were all favorites. All seem very genuine.

For musicians, I guess Victor Wooten is the most famous. That was really magical. He was exactly as I hoped, dude is a natural teacher.

Actors… I ran into Adam Scott (Parks and Rec, Severance) when I was quite drunk (and on a date) many years back. We were both in line at a speakeasy ramen restaurant at like 11PM.

I don’t think I met any politicians or other kinds of famous folks.

As a teenager, I worked in a local single-screen movie theater in an affluent town and had occasion to meet John Delancy (Q from Star Trek Next Gen) who was very friendly, and Jason Robards, who was pleasant enough but kept to himself. I've met a few famous people at conventions, but the best was Adrienne Barbeau, who I met at a horror convention in Worcester, MA years ago. It was early and there weren't a lot of people around yet, so we went over to say hello. We spent about half an hour just talking, commiserating over the then-very-recent cancellation of Carnivale on HBO. She was an absolutely lovely person in every way.

I was working at a small gaming studio and talked on the phone with German Garmendia because we wanted to make a game featuring him and his staff. He's a youtuber, I think he was called "the pewdiepie of latin america" or something like that? He had way too many subscribers, I think about 50M

He was a nice individual from what I remember, very hard working and friendly. I think he was recently "cancelled" though but idk I don't keep up with those things.

I didn't meet him per se, we just talked on the phone, and he's not like... A hollywood celebrity or amything but it's the closest I get.

Spoke for a solid hour with Peter Zeihan, author of The Accidental Superpower, at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey. Very knowledgeable, and much taller in real life than I expected. I highly recommend his books.

I met Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio and Blink 182 for a bit, it was at a festival he was acting and he came.up to me and my mate because he couldn't find the stage he was supposed to be on 5 minutes before talking to us.

Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, but it was more of a brief wave from a few feet away than meeting them. Still, amazingly cool experience to be that close.

I guess the most famous I've met is Screamin' Scott Simon of Sha Na Na. He's friends with my mom. Went to visit one year and he took us to his home in the valley of LA. Lovely guy, and the most insane driver I've ever met.

Nicolas Maduro.

Tim Eicke, the UK judge at the ECtHR. He gave a talk at my university and I briefly spoke to him afterwards

I used to play dnd with an astronaught
