View submission: I am Victoria from reddit. AMAA!

Aww that snoo is so cute, thank you!

YES, absolutely. I love that element of surprise when you really connect with someone, or you get to bond with them in a really interesting way. For instance, Gilbert Gottfried is a really sweet guy[1]. My AMA with Terry Gilliam[2], I was laughing the entire time - we both were, actually. Ben Stiller[3] really went outside of his comfort zone, which was a really enjoyable experience, to speak with him. Tilda Swinton[4] did all her own typing, but I stayed on with her mostly on mute and talking occasionally when she had questions, and she was incredibly sweet, funny and kind. Very cool. I'll come back and add to this answer!

Some more cool surprising ones: Pedro Pascal[5] was awesome. Incredibly humble and down to earth and REALLY nerdy. Really, really awesome guy.

Keanu Reeves[6] is really really smart. And a good soul. Just a really good person.

I don't think it's a surprise, but Morgan Spurlock[7] is really nice.

Sean Bean[8] is totally the type of person you'd want to get a beer with. Really awesome salt of the earth guy. Uzo Aduba[9] is incredibly talented and a really amazing person...

Regarding the Pedro Pascal AMA - can you now comment on why it was scheduled when it was, and what your stance was regarding the spoiler? How active were you guys trying to make sure it didn't get through?

Some people were insistent that it should be "Ask Him Anything," including things from the book years ago. Yet others recognized it as something he simply could not talk about due to his contract with HBO.

I imagine that was difficult.

If Keanu Reeves is really, really smart, then it turns out - much to my surprise - that he is a really, really good actor.

Thanks for prompting me to go read the Gottfried AMA for the first time. Laughed my ass off.
