Ross
continued from page 8
in the future? How about directing?
RM: I just did this tour playing theaters all by myself,
which was really scary, but I ended up loving it. I always
thought I was only good at a couple things and felt it was
best to play it safe by staying in my wheelhouse. However,
this tour challenged me in a way I kinda’ enjoyed, so you
never know. Every Oprah has her Color Purple.
KW: Harriet Pakula-Teweles says: Ross, it’s possible
that, at first, most of your fans were laughing at you. But
your “stick-to-it”-iveness eventually had them laughing
with you. Good show! What are your plans to transition
from Leno?
RM: I knew what I was, kind of like a high-pitched, gay
cartoon with a Middle American TV audience. So, I had to
get them to laugh with me by the end. In the early days, that
was a struggle every piece. It was stressful, because I never
knew whether I was going to get another assignment. But
they did, and I’ve been doing Leno for twelve years, and
I’ve developed a great relationship with the E! Network
where I’ll be doing my new talk show produced by Chelsea
Handler. It’s going to hit the airwaves in the Fall.
KW: The Tavis Smiley question: How do you want to be
remembered?
RM: As someone who put something good out. That’s the
whole reason I worked so hard on this book, and fought so
hard to do it the way I did it. I wanted to plant a seed of pos-
itivity. When I was a kid, I didn’t know what it meant to be
a successful, grown-up gay person, because I didn’t see it.
The role models weren’t on TV for me back then. So, I
would hope that I am sort of setting an example, and not just
for gays. My message is a universal one of self-acceptance.
Whatever you are, you need to love it
KW: Thanks again for the time, Ross, and best of luck
with the book, the talk show and everything else.
RM: Thank you so much, Kam, for the fun interview.
