Ira Glass, reimagined as a professional wrestler
In honor of This American Life’s second season debut, Time Out New York asked host Ira Glass a bunch of wacky questions, from pizza to politics to Glass’ feelings about being named one of America’s sexiest guys by Salon.com.
By far the best answer Glass gave was in a segue from a question about his live performances. In it, he reveals the WWE character he always wished he could be — “a thug and a grammarian.” Check it out:
“The Bookworm carries a big tome that says A GUIDE TO WRESTLING on the front of it. When he gets put into a bad hold he furiously flips through the book looking for what to do. He’s a tall, skinny fellow with glasses, and there’s nothing that anyone loves more than seeing that guy get beat up. And then it’s really fun that occasionally he’ll get off a good move from his book and throw one of the big guys.”
And this, my friends, is why Ira Glass is the man.
