Meridith Vierra would be my pick too. Because of her husband, I feel she really "gets" MS.

I think I would just want to be left alone. Like Erin, I tend to be on the shy side and there is no way I would want to be on TV like that.

However, if it really, really had to be done I think I would do the Ellen show as she has such a light hearted sense of humor. I think it would be more fun and relaxing to do her show than the others who seems overly serious and have their own agenda and can twist the story any way they want. Not that Ellen couldn't but at least the humor and silliness would make it worth while.

I realize how shallow and materialistic this sounds, but for this scenario the highest bidder wins with me for the "exclusive". (I've got two sons to provide for). And a chunk of that $$$ will be donated to research.

I put it in quotes because I will be telling the story again to whoever wants to listen.

But that's just me.

I would pick Rachel Maddow. She is smart (rhodes scholar) and sympathetic without being patronizing.

She could tell me how it really went when she has interviewed people like Al Gore, Robert Redford, Edie Falco, John Kerry, Pat Buchanan, Jane Fonda, Seymour Hersh, Tucker Carlson, Roseanne Cash, Lili Taylor, Ben Harper, and Michael Isikoff.

My choice of an interviewer:

Brian Lamb of C-SPAN.

Cheers!

If something like that were to ever happen, I'd probably pick Charles Gibson from ABC. I've always liked him as a news reporter.

I thought about it a bit longer. I would not talk to anyone from the major tv networks. Too many yellow journalists.

If I had to be interviewed by anyone, I'd choose Glenn Beck (Fox News) first, and then maybe Sean Hannity, or Mike Huckabee or Greg Gutfeld (Gutfeld is on Fox News, on a show called Red Eye, and he's not very serious at all...Gutfeld is probably a little crazy)

Those choices probably make my conservative republican-ism show.

Actually, I thought about this some more. If I had to be interviewed by any celebrity it would have to be Shemar Moore (from Criminal Minds). He would be so nice to look at that it really wouldn't matter to me if he twisted things around. He can twist all he wants.

Sandy - Good answer. That daily interview with God can be the scariest yet most rewarding interview.

so funny. I was reading the replies and when I got to this...it was just under Niko's post about Brian Lamb. So when I read Sandy's post, my inflection and interpretation were WAY OFF!!

I took the "God" as an exclamation "God!!!" As in, I agree! and the "He interviews me daily" as in "I watch Brian Lamb all the time, I like that guy."

Only when I read down to Tricia's post did I go backwards and realize that my interpretation was WAY OFF.
