To all the people whove ever canceled on me at the last minute . . . thank you from the bottom of my soul. Weve had a lunch on the books for weeks and you email me an hour before and say, Hey, Im really sorry, but . . .? Well, Im spinning around in my office chair pumping my fists in triumph. You tell me you have a family emergency and you cant have a drink tonight after all? Theres a 20 percent chance youre making it up, but I dont care. Thank you, thank you, thank you for such sweet relief.

Look, Survivor is an American institution. It plumbs the depths of human misery to find the limits of human popularity to then find ratings, and it's found a lot of ratings. And Jeff Probst? Jeff Probst should be on Mt. Rushmore. Hes a pop culture icon and a jawline icon and the best reality competition show ho(b)st there ever was. The combination of great Probst, personal narratives, and physical competition has made Survivor consistently entertaining for 22 years.

On October 11, 1990, when I saw Luke Perry first appear as the shrewd but cranky anti-hero Dylan McKay on Beverly Hills 90210, I was almost certainly in my bedroom with the door closed. The pilot the week before had hooked me instantly, but there was no way I was gonna let anyone know I was watching the show. Not my mom, not my dog, and definitely not my friends. It was vaguely soap opera-like, after all. It was dramatic and emotional. It was no show for a dramatic and emotional kid such as m...

There are more flasks in my home than bottles of alcohol. I have big flasks and small flasks. Flasks with my initials engraved on them. Plastic flasks. Wooden flasks. Shiny flasks. A flask featuring an embossed wolf. My home is teeming with flasks because, well, part of my duties as a magazine editor involve covering the goings-on of the liquor industry, sure, but also: Its the go-to gift for men you dont know very well.
