I liked when they scrolled the fact that C. Montgomery Burns on The Simpsons was based on Barry Diller.

I'm wondering why "heterosexual" is significant here. [Insert sociolinguistic stuff about marked and unmarked conditions, etc.] Most business magnate type guys are.

"Heterosexual choreographer" might be a different story.

I've never seen the Power Lunch thing-- do they always actually eat lunch on camera? Because I DO NOT want to watch people eat while they're talking. Except maybe Padma and Tom C.

@if_i_only_had_a_heart: They are usually in the studio; this was some special day with Four Seasons product placement.

He's a frightening man. Immense wealth and power, legendary volcanic temper, and weird reality-warping denial of what everyone has known for years. I've been in rooms with him, and his aura is rather heavy.

I can't believe you wrote about this. I saw it live and I thought it was SO weird, especially at the end when he looked down at his super-expensive food like it was poo poo or something. What was his problem? (Someone please take me to The Four Seasons. I will eat everything on my plate.)

He'll swallow a pork sword, but he won't eat the Four Seasons' food. Curious.
