Penn Jillette. We seem to have a similar outlook on the world, so we could have a good conversation. Then he could entertain me with some magic or juggling or something. And if that gets boring, I think he’s pretty hot, so… ---

Kansas City Royals pitcher Brian Bannister. The man is some kind of lunatic genius when it comes to baseball. ---

Viggo Mortensen. Not only is he way hot but his interests are quite eclectic. And did I mention he’s way hot? ---

My first instinct was Hugh Laurie or Simon Cowell because I like their shows and their accents and they’re cute. But then I realized I would sit there like a starstruck lump and have nothing to impress them with. And I’d feel even worse about myself. So I guess I’d have to go with my mom, provided we weren’t in danger so she could stay calm and just chill. ---

I was going to say Hugh Laurie. Because he’s just fascinating. But he smokes. And so I’d be trapped for 24 hours with a migraine, or else he wouldn’t have any cigarettes and he’d be too cranky to talk to me. Bad either way. ---

JK Rowling. [Ed Broadbent](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Broadbent), former leader of Canada’s NDP. I’d love to have a good long talk about politics with him. My mom worked with him when I was a kid, so we’d actually have some connection. [Sheila Chandra](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheila_Chandra), Anglo-Indian singer. I saw her live in Toronto and the experience was awesome. But she’s hopelessly married, so the experience would probably break my heart. Likewise, [Kate Bush](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Bush) and [Loreena McKennitt](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loreena_McKennitt). Edit: if any of them smoke, I’d change my mind. ---

My first choice would be my girlfriend, as I choose to spend time with her anyway. My second choice would be **Dung Beetle**. My famous, non-sexual choice would be Richard Dawkins. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-would-you-choose-to-spend-24-hours-trapped-with/448203.md?page=1)
