Confirm or reject: Graydon Carter Edition

Maureen Dowd: Annie Leibovitz took a picture of your passport.

Graydon Carter: She took a picture of my passport.

You were told by James Bond to stop the grass.

confirm! One year, I invited all the guys who played James Bond to an Oscar party. For some reason, all but one worked or was not available. George Razenby appeared in “The Secret Service Under Her Ma” during his time at Connery before the scene. I found him at the bar himself. I went and introduced myself. He looked straight ahead and then turned to tell me to talk about it in a fragrant language that is generally not permitted in high-end newspapers.

When you were single and time, you had a romantic encounter with a young woman who wrote fun little things on the “People” page and wrote a version of the Newsweek People page called “Newsmakers.”

No comments.

The two most entertaining non-comedians you've ever met are George Clooney and Anderson Cooper.

In both cases they were so funny that I had to tell them to stop because I thought the realization would break.

When New York Times Push Alert announced the news of a departure from Vanity Fair, when I saw multiple friends display your name on their phones, they thought it was because you were dead.

Yes, and for some of them, it put spring on their steps.

Anna Wintour is supposed to be retiring.

It's definitely not. I think she can continue for decades.

Putin once called you and got on the cover of the Vanity Fair.

rejection.

Kushner is the new Kennedy.

rejection. Well, if that's the family arm you're referring to, the new Bobby Kennedy junior.

West Village is overrun by the young Flat Brothers with too much family money and no culture.

still. Perhaps it's in the process.

Taylor Swift is banned from the Waverly Inn for the rest of his life.

No, I love Taylor Swift.

Harry and Meghan are grifters.

Bill Simmons could say that. I will never do it. I don't know if glyfter is the correct word. More “chanser” is an English expression for those who are wearing makeup.

My friend David Theslav, CEO of Warner Bros Discovery, is pretty compensated.

The salary is extremely low.

Tom Cruise tried to turn you into Scientology.

rejection.

Those who wear the order of Canadian rosettes on lapels are rich.

rejection. I think they're probably proud of it.

Democrats need celebrity candidates in 2028.

confirm. Well, they need candidates. Whether it's a celebrity or not, they have a strong bench. It takes six months, they sort things out and then they have the power.

It takes two hours to fix your hair every day.

Ah, more than that.

You were a Canadian grave digger as a young man.

I was grave digging for the whole day. Canada's ground is frozen for about seven months a year, so I signed up at high school. And I thought I could spend the money and I found it interesting. And it was backwards and terrifying, and I didn't show up on the second day.

It was fired twice by fax.

They weren't work. They were like a contract.

You've been named one of the sexiest Canadians.

confirm.

You have the best martini recipes in the world.

I essentially copy the techniques of the famous old man who was making them in Dukes London. First, anything that can be frozen will freeze. Gin or vodka. And glass. I prefer a small coupe to the V-glass, an international symbol of martinis horny. I happen to like vermouth, so that's half the indicator full of that. Then gin or vodka (maybe less than an ounce and a half) and three olives and a small spoonful of olive juice from the fridge.

You consider yourself as your primary authority in packing the trunk of your car.

This is an important part of the trip for the father of five. Think about it before you sabotage things. Everything should be on the pavement before you start. Start with a big bag. Then, like a Tetris, it fits in the truck or the back. Please try to stay calm.
