HALL OF FAME

I love when kids are excited to meet me. But I get excited to meet authors too, like Anthony Doerr, Lois Lowry, Jason Reynolds, Karl Ove Knausgaard, Khaled Hosseini, Colson Whitehead, Victoria Jamieson, Nathan Hill, and Ethan Canin. And some writers were true friends: Sue Grafton, Tom Wolfe, Richard Peck.

Scroll to see Kenan Thompson, Michael Che, Cecily Strong, Taran Killam, Beck Bennett, and John Mulaney. (Rob worked for SNL!) Our daughters met Judy Blume, Owen Wilson, and Daniel Radcliffe—back when he was Harry Potter. Who else? Donald Glover, Caroline Rhea, Cynthia Nixon, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Morgan Freeman, Alec Baldwin, Mike Bloomberg, Ruth Franklin, Elizabeth Winthrop, Chris Grabenstein, Darin Strauss, Suzannah Meadows, Dave Barry, Elizabeth Strout, Paul Zelinsky, Mike Curato, Delia Ephron, Ed Vere, J. Courtney Sullivan, Bob Hope (!), Denver Butson, and the original Maybelle.

Question 1: When I was on Oprah, why didn’t I snap a selfie??

Question 2: Who’s that guy in the corner? D of DMC!

Way before Facebook, I kept scrapbooks. I've always loved photos and I'm sharing some with you. I love when fans send me photos from all over the world!
