7 MInutes in Heaven
I have a new favorite TV show. It's a web series called "7 Minutes in Heaven," an interview program on Hulu hosted by "Saturday Night Live" writer Mike O'Brien. Celebrities are fed alcohol and then they answer O'Brien's questions inside of a clothes closet in which interviewer and interviewee are uncomfortably close together. Sometimes they act out a dramatic scene in a segment called "Closet Theater." At the end, the host tries to make out with them.There have been only four episodes so far, but there are at least three more to come. O'Brien's "SNL" colleague Kristen Wiig led off in humorous fashion. She was followed by Bravo TV producer Andy Cohen, then actor (and Cedar Rapids native) Elijah Wood. The most recent guest, actress Patricia Clarkson, became the first to fully grasp the concept of the show. Curiously, each episode clocks in at a little less than 5 minutes.

Sade is in Chicago this weekend. At Saturday night's show, I'm going to attempt to scale the stage and present her with a ring. It's not an "engagement" ring per se, more of a "promise" ring. Like a promise to be "exclusive." Here's Sade at Live Aid in 1985.
