nice surprise
I don't usually get that excited when I find out that someone famous is a Christian. That sounds bad, doesn't it? I mean, I like to find out anyone is a Christian, but I'm not one of those guys who feels the need to prove to other people that "Christianity is cool" by pointing to celebrities who belong to the faith.
All that being said...
I just read on Wikipedia (while researching a column) that Alton Brown, host of Good Eats on the Food Network, is a Christian. That's really cool.
I also found out that he the director of photography for the R.E.M. video, "The One I Love."
Alton Brown is awesome. If you don't watch Good Eats you should start. It's a cooking show where Brown explores the science behind cooking. He's really funny and relatable. He's also a friggin' genius. The other night on a reality show competition called The Next Food Network Star he determined that a Chilean Sea Bass was farm raised instead of coming from the wild based on the deformation of it's dorsal fin.
On a similar note I was once able to determine that GG is from Owensboro based on the shape of his foot.
I have to say, while I am happy to hear that anyone is a Christian as well, I can't believe that you like Alton Brown. But more than that, I can't really believe you just said that "he's really funny". In fact, my grandma and I watch the Food Network together all the time and everytime his show comes on, she says, "Oh turn him off. He drives me crazy." And she loves everyone on that channel. I'm seriously questioning your sense of humor here.
Well, it's not like he's Jon Stewart or anything, but he's funnier than anybody else on the whole Network.
I was kind of iffy on him until I saw him on The Next Food Network Star and something about seeing him out of a scripted environment won me over. Now I love his show.
Also, your best friend has also developed an affinity for him, so you might want to ask her about that the next time you see her.
