Day Eating with Seth

This is an interview that Variety podcaster Michael Schneider did with Seth Meyers back in April, though it only got posted last week.  It comes on the heels of Meyers' show celebrating its 10th anniversary and getting renewed by NBC for four more years.

At first, Schneider thought he'd do the interview in the spirit of Meyers' "Day Drinking" segment, but opting instead for a "Day Eating" gambit instead instead.  And honestly, interesting and fun as the 45-minute conversation is, that's one of the two reasons I'm posting this.

That first reason is the host invited in Dan Michaels and Tod Hiller, boyhood friends and the owners of the Los Angeles branch of Gino's East, a very popular, small Chicago pizza chain.  A place I love and eat at (or take out) often.

The other reason is that five of the six people involved with this are all graduates of the beloved Northwestern University -- Meyers, podcast host Schneider, co-owner Michaels, and the two (unseen) young staffers running the camera and audio.  Somehow, Hiller slipped through the cracks.

The cover a range of fun topics (including on his background in Chicago), sample a lot of pizza and other menu items, and Meyers gives his Top Ten Pizza List of anything related to pizza.

One clarification.  At one point, the hosts as Dan Michaels how he ended up bring Gino's East to Los Angeles.  And he gives his answer about "we" while looking at Seth Meyers, who nods in agreement.  So, it looks like the "we" involved are those two.  It's not, it's the off-camera Tod Hiller (who is generally off-camera for most of the interview.)
