My favorite thing to do is to wind those guys up by hitting on their girlfriends. I say, ‘I think your girlfriend’s gorgeous, but it’s all right, I’m gay.’ They get very nervous after a few minutes!
Adam GarciaAdam Garcia Most of the time, my favorite drama has comedy in it as well. I think most good dramas have comedy in there. And all of the dramatic actors I look up to are also very funny.
Adam BrodyAdam Brody I liked radio, or podcasting. I like talking minus the camera and the script part. All those mediums are different, and they are all different with their pluses and minuses.
Adam CarollaAdam Carolla My favorite movie, one of ’em is [Notorious]. I love Scarface as well. I’ve got a lot of mob movies.
Ace HoodAce Hood Pray tell us, what’s your favorite number?
Abraham VergheseAbraham Verghese My favorite types of movies definitely aren’t thrillers, but at the same time you can’t deny the genius of Hitchcock’s films.
Aaron YooAaron Yoo If we can string together some wins this year, maybe I’ll be a close second-or third behind Bart Starr-on their favorite quarterback list.
Aaron RodgersAaron Rodgers My favorite thing about being famous… it’s not really as big of a deal as everybody says it is. Being on the road is tough, doing interviews, and all the stuff. It’s still pretty tough.
