Jim Henson was the only piece of fan mail I ever wrote when I was a little kid.

Thankfully, the meat of the Tony telecast is the performances from the shows, so the awards show kind of creates itself around the season, and then I fill in based on the vibe of the season in general. I'm happy that there'll be so many legitimately good performances on the show.

I enjoy being a hyphenate. I've always thought of my career as a plate spinner in the circus.

I'm a big proponent of monogamous relationships regardless of sexuality, and I'm proud of how the nation is steering toward that.

In my 20s, I mostly ate burritos and nachos, with the occasional burger.

I don't care about my "impact" - I only care about the theater as an art form and criticism as an act of writing.

I've done plenty of daredeviling - from white-water rafting to bungee jumping. But I think the most fearless was hosting the Emmy Awards. It was overwhelming, and I definitely had to leave fear at the door.
