Sharyl Attkisson @SharylAttkisson - Of all the famous people I have interviewed, people ask who was "the best" and Itzhak Perlman frequently comes to mind.
He probably doesn't remember, or even know who I am, but I interviewed him when I was anchoring CNN (that would have been 1990-1993).
Off camera, he was gracious, friendly and humorous.
Before we went live, I asked him, "Do you pronounce your name "YITZ'ak or "ITZ'hak?"
He looked at me dead-pan and replied: "Yeither."
Also, surprisingly perhaps, at the top of the list is Robert Goulet. Some of the famous people you might think would be stuffy or arrogant actually are not, and vice versa.
Goulet was friendly and had a great sense of humor. I met him more than once. He also has a lovely wife named Vera who I have lightly stayed in touch with for more than 40 years since I first met the couple at the Children's Miracle Network telethon.
There are many more but Chuck Norris is up there, too. What an interesting and kind gentleman!
In this interview at his Texas home, he's explaining to me that "Chuck" isn't his real name.

Shawn Farash @Shawn_Farash - To all the people who told me to stop calling out Elijah Schaffer and Sarah Stock among many others like that because "MUH INFIGHTING THEY'RE ON THE SAME SIDE."
Never lecture me again.
They were never on our side.
Next time listen.
