You all know how the game is played, and the nice thing about SDMB is we’re spared having to watch the person answering pretend to contemplate when they’re asked (as if they haven’t seen it 8,219 times before). So, either fill in your own answers OR recall your favorite answers from the show, feeling free to ignore any questions you’d rather not answer.
The site for Actor’s Studio has a gameversion of the celebrity responses, incidentally.

“You’re the only man here…”
Our salon for art, drama, literature, movies, music – all the artistic disciplines – if it’s about art or entertainment, it goes here.
Last I checked, Cafe Society was the thread for anything TV related, which Actor’s Studio is.

So these questions would be appropriate:
Do you have a black and white TV?
What’s inside a CRT?
What celebrity does your dog resemble?
I need words that rhyme with “Fonzie”
Would YOU eat a bug?
Am I wrong, or are none of these–or the OP–really discussions about art or entertainment? The OP is asking for a discussion on individual Dopers’ personal idiosyncrasies. Just because you got the questions from a TV show doesn’t mean it’s a discussion about art or entertainment. Everything has been mentioned on TV at one point or another, so everything is appropriate to CS, right?
Lissener, me boogie, please leave. I really don’t want another 100 post hijack on “Why I’m brighter than the other posters” here as you’ve done to other columns.
To the best of my knowledge you paid the same $4.95 that I did, hence the bandwidth for threads you consider unworthy really isn’t coming out of your pocket. If the Mods think this is in the wrong Forum, I have both blind and sighted faith that they’ll move it as softly and efficiently as a well trained Labrador retrieving a dead drake and thus into their capable hands I commend it. So if you aren’t impressed with the intellectual merits of this or any other OP I start, I absolve you of any responsibility to tell me so and request that you just make like Whitney’s aunt and "Walk on by….

If Heaven exists what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? I am so sorry. You were completely and totally unprepared for that. Wasn’t it funny, though? C’mon in so you can watch all the other unprepared fools flounder…
I know; I’m sorry! I actually felt rather guilty listing your favorite curseword as my least favorite word, but I just couldn’t think of another word I hate the sound of more.
“Maybe I’m just like my mother . . .”
