Nighttime, in a nanosecond, asleep by 10:30. No chance I'll get through the day without two naps. Before noon, around 11 A.M. I catch 30 minutes. Living not far from CBS is perfect because afternoons I go home for another.

Most people have a concentration in particular areas; it might be politics, it might be science, it might be business, it might be sports. I care about all of those, and that's why I've chosen the formats I chose.

I don't talk about my politics. I am registered as an independent.

I was an only child of a father who loved me deeply, but we didn't play catch, even though I was an athlete. We didn't go fishing or hunting or any of the things I wanted to do. Why not? He just didn't do that.

I'm an only child, so I don't even have nieces or nephews.

I could spend several hours on YouTube every night. It's all there. I just don't have enough time.

When I think about athletes, probably my favorite guest of all time among baseball players was Ted Williams.

My parents had a great work ethic.
