    SI once wrote that Andre passed out in a hotel lobby after drinking 127 beers, so they put a sheet over him and let him sleep there.

    I walked by Jeff Garlin at O'Hare, turned walked back to him and said quietly, "Excuse me, Mr. Garlin, I just wanted to tell you I'm a huge fan of your work on Curb." He practically yelled back at me, "Oh thank you so much! I really appreciate it." So much for keeping it low-key.

    Woody Harrelson hit on my wife at the Toronto Film Festival last year. That was interesting.

    Back when Bill Clinton was president he made an appearance at a town a little ways north of here. We sent a young reporter and a photographer. Clinton is walking the handshake line and the photog needs him to look in his direction to get a decent picture. So the photog tells the reporter to get Clinton's attention for a minute.
    The reporter springs into action. He yells, "Mr. President! Mr. President!" and gets Clinton to look their way. When Clinton does, the reporter says, "Heeeyyyyy," in a sighing voice.
    To this day we still give the reporter shit about that.
