It was fantastic working with the likes of; Yokozuna, Vader, Owen Hart and The British Bulldog, they were a great group of guys to be associated with.

Esquire interview
Olyphant speaks about being co-executive producer of the FX show Justified:
Honestly, I don’t think I’m doing anything different this season than I’ve done in any other seasons. It’s just now on the up and up with the title, meaning I’ve been a big pain in their ass from the jump. I was never not a pain in the ass. It’s now just official pain in the ass. That title is not available, so instead they gave me co-executive producer.

They’re [my fans] going to be exposed to art most people don’t know about. People are taught to look at things so black and white, especially in small towns.

Tavis Smiley interview
Curtis discusses addiction, including her own struggles, in this interview for PBS.
But 40 million people are addicted. This is a nationwide epidemic that we have to look at, and if my voicing my own personal, very – by the way, very personal experience – so that others might feel that they can voice their own personal struggles, then I will feel that my “outing” myself in a public way then had some value.
Tyler Posey interview
Seacrest interviews Posey during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his Valentines Day plans.

EJ Johnson interview
Williams interviews Johnson and questions him on how he told his parents he was gay.
Well I came out when I was about 17 to my mother and father [Irving “Magic” Johnson] and I’m 21 now. So I think that it was a good time because I have already come out to myself. I was already comfortable with myself and my friends and so it was like that. After that point it seemed like it was time to tell them. [I told them] in the comfort of our own home.
Esquire interview
Mancusso talks about competing in her fourth Winter Olympics:
For sure it’s exciting. Because it gets kind of mundane and repetitive going World Cup to World Cup. I mean, the venue changes. It’s definitely a big stage and a big opportunity. Even though the races are very similar, there’s a lot more on the line. For me it’s really cool because our sport is really European, so you get to show off what you do to your friends and family and they can actually follow along.
Sofia Vergara interview
Seacrest interviews Vergara during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about how the tabloids interest in her love life effects her.
I laugh all the time because what else can I do? I mean at least they’re talking about me, no? I read the most absurd things, like one day I’m engaged, one day because I go to the gym without the ring then I’m not engaged and it’s some horrible tragedy. Then the other day I’m getting married, then I’m giving birth.
Steve Harvey interview
Seacrest interviews Harvey during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his 90 day relationship probation rule.
Here’s the deal. I created this equation to benefit the woman because how many times has a woman given herself to a man and then later on said, ‘Wow! If only I knew what I know now, I wouldn’t have given myself to [that person].’ So I said here’s a 90-day rule for you and I came up with the equation after my days working at Ford. You have a probation period of 90 days before that company gives you a full benefit package. Women should look at their benefit the same way because they have the greatest benefit package available to man so why would you pass out the greatest benefit package and he isn’t qualified for it? So you need a 90-day probation period [to get to know them] and that’s how long I think women should wait.
Maxim Interview
Mancuso talks about competing in the Sochi Olympics and her best event:
My best event is Super-G. I’m competitive in all my events, but Super-G has been most consistent for me. Ironically, that’s one event I don’t have an Olympic medal in, but I’m really excited. I think I have a good shot.
Charlamagne Tha God interview
Charlamagne Tha God is interviewed by Hall on The Arsenio Hall Show. They talk about how he is accused of disrespect, Kim Kardashian’s cosmetic surgery and his conflict with Wendy William’s husband.

Drew Carey interview
Carey is interviewed by Hall on The Arsenio Hall Show. They talk about loving chicken, going to a chicken restaurant and a fight he got in with a customer who didn’t pay.
So I followed him out and I said ‘Hey you didn’t pay the check’ and the guy said ‘Hey what are you talkin’ about ?’ I said ‘I saw you walk out’ and he said ‘What are you a cop?’ and I said ‘No’ but I saw you walk out with your check’ and he said ‘Well I knock your glasses off your face.’

Dr. Oz interview
Seacrest interviews Dr. OZ during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about advise for those who catch the flu.
It’s not affecting as many people, but the people it affects are getting a lot sicker, especially young people. It’s related to the Spanish influenza, which happened in 1918 and killed 20 million people around the globe. It was a bad strain, so a lot of young people are ending up in the hospital with this year’s version of the flu which is a-typical it lingers and it makes you feel real poorly.
