Ask Chuck Klosterman and other strangers anything at Ask Roulette

Tonight at the Bell House there’s show called Ask Roulette, where you can ask a complete stranger anything. (Remember, they used to say that about 411 operators, but that might have been an urban myth. Do you even know what a 411 operator is?) For tonight’s show, host and WNYC producer Jody Avirgan has recruited Chuck Klosterman (The New York Times‘ “Ethicist”), W. Kamau and Jay Smooth of WBAI to be the answerers / askers / moderators / ok we’re not entirely sure. 

Here’s how this thing works: Participants can ask each other anything they want, so long as they answer someone else’s question first.  We asked Jay  to demonstrate by looking through some of the questions asked at recent Ask Roulette show.

Question: “If you could domesticate any dinosaur, what would it be?”

Jay Smooth: Based on my extensive dinosaur knowledge derived from watching “The Herculoids,” I’d have to go with the half-rhino/half-triceratops that shoots space rocks out of its horn.

Q: “Who is the one politician that you want to have mind-blowing sex with?”

JS: Rick Santorum obvs.

Q: “Who would play you in a movie about your life?”

If you have questions for Smooth, Klosterman or audience randos — or you can name 10 things that rhyme with cornball — tonight is the night. Tickets $10, doors open at 7:30.
