Garrett was nice enough to take a few minutes out of his busy schedule recently to answer a few questions from us.
1. You walk into a bar. What do your order from the bartender?
It depends. If the bartender is a woman, I’d ask for her number. If it’s a man, I’ll just have a Diet Coke or a virgin pina colada (I like virgins).
2. Who’s your favorite person to follow on Twitter?
I would follow Carmen Electra anywhere. But really, I’m happy following Jonathan Kite @jbkite, Matthew Moy @themoywunder, Beth Behrs @bethbehrs, and Kat Dennings @officialkat!
3. What’s currently waiting for you on your DVR/TiVO?
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report.
4. It’s your last meal — what are you going out with?
Deviled Crab and Ice Cream, but not at the same time.
