"Write now is good.": And the answer is...

Hello and welcome!

My name is Kristin Gorski. I’m a freelance writer and editor. “Write now is good.” is my personal blog about writing, creativity and inspiration (with healthy doses of technology in relevant places). If you'd like to collaborate on a project, have writing/creativity info to share, or want to say, "Hi," contact me at kgwritenow (at) yahoo dot com.

And the answer is...

Jon Lovitz! He's the TV character — acting as an obnoxious, over-the-top version of himself — from Saturday Night Live.

Here's a typical exchange between his character and anyone else he meets:

Jon Lovitz: Hello, I'm Jon Lovitz, and I'm having lunch in the Russian Tea Room with the most beautiful woman in the world — Paulina [Porizkova]! Well, we can't all be me. But if you'd like to fulfill your dream like I did, then I have one piece of advice for you — Get To Know Me! When did I chip my tooth? Why do I drain my foot? Where is my extra bone? Get To Know Me! Got to go — listen to him!

Don Pardo: Hello! Before I got to know Jon, I was nothing, nowhere, nobody! I was stuck in a room reading voice overs I could barely understand! And then, I got to know him, and now I get to be on TV! And today, they call me... Don Pardo!

Jon Lovitz: Get To Know Me! Why do I never wear a hat? Why was I banned from Bangkok? Why do women call me "The Anchor"?

Read the rest of the skit here.

Lovitz is a one of a kind, who could be labeled a genius...but his talent is innate.

I agree. He is a perfect example of someone who is doing exactly what he was put here to do.

Almost everything he does leaves me laughing so hard I cannot speak, with tears streaming down my face — in a good way! ;)
