FRESH AIR: STARS

National Public Radio "Fresh Air" host Terry Gross continues to prove she's one of the best in the business as she draws "stars" into subjects they likely wouldn't approach voluntarily even under "truth serum." Highlights include the ever charming George Clooney--who pulls back the curtain on his prickly relationship with the media--and the usually interview-shy Jodie Foster. Comedians Robin Williams and Dave Chappelle make talking about comedy funny, not an easy thing to do. Stephen Colbert turns serious and lets listeners realize just how different his on-air personality is from his real-life one. Gross expresses her natural curiosity in her questions but never crosses the line that can make celebrity profiles uncomfortable. R.O. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 07]
