The outrageous and amazing thing about Christian Potenza is that everyone you meet thinks he is great. He has fans and supporters across the land. This is understandable, given the man's prodigious comic gifts.

Many of you have sent me questions for Christian Potenza, should I ever screw up the nerve to pursue an interview with him. I thought it would be a good idea to publish them here on this hot sandwich and maintain a running and growing list. That way they will stay at the top of all our minds, and if you or I should run into him on the subway one day, we will have them at the ready and will be able to smoothly change the subject when he suggests everyone get naked.

So. Here are the first questions for Christian Potenza. Remember, it is not too late to add your own.

1. Miracle Whip or mayonnaise?
2. How do you make your face go like that?
3. Aerosol cheese: foodstuff or condiment?
4. Some baiting to get him to say "it's all about balance" would be good too. As in, if I were to take up a career as a tight-rope walker what skills would ensure my success? This would be similar to how Adam Sandler was baiting Henry Winkler into saying the Fonz's catchphrases. He would say "Henry, what's the first letter in the alphabet?". Then of course Fonz would say "A." That would be fun, no?

I have thought of one of my own, as well:

5. Did that lozenge really cure your hoarseness or were you just faking it because you were on T.V.? Because I'm feeling like the lozenges I use are not nearly so effective and maybe I'm buying the wrong kind.
