Who would you want as your first guest if you were a talk show host?

The World Chess Championship concluded a few weeks ago. I was happy to see NBCSN kinda, sorta broadcast the games a day or so later. Unfortunately, they only showed what amounted to highlights of each game in 30-minute segments, half of which were advertisements for Dubai. Unsurprisingly, Magnus Carlsen came out victorious . . . again. The main thing I garnered from the highlights was Mr. Carlsen’s distinctive walking style. I can’t pinpoint one overriding quality making each stride of his so oddly unique, though. Each step involves some combo of excessive arm swing, shuffling feet, and exaggerated hip rise. All this accented by his noticeably beltless waist. If I had a talk show (I never would), I’d definitely invite Magnus (he’d never accept) to be my initial guest. A major difference with my show would be where the guests entered. Instead of emerging from behind a curtain 20 feet to my left, I’d have them march down the aisle through the entire studio audience. Everyone would see Magnus walk. No softball questions to start—straight to the hard-hitting inquiry: “What’s up with your ambulation?”

  1. I would love to have my grandparents as my first guest. I wish I would have asked them more questions about their lives
