\n\tTracee Ellis Ross
My name is Tracee Ellis Ross, I\u2019m the host this evening. Five things you don\u2019t know about me: One, I love olives. My favorite olive is a green olive \u2014 not with a pimiento; with a pit. Couldn\u2019t think of the word. Another thing that you should know about me that other people don\u2019t know that\u2019s very important for you to know about me is I love gum, chewing gum. Very big on chewing gum. I love chewing gum. I eat chewing gum like it\u2019s going out of style. And I like to eat the gum, spit the gum out, stick it somewhere, hopefully in a garbage can. And then eat more gum. It\u2019s a problem. What\u2019s the next thing you should know about me? My favorite of all beverages? Water. What\u2019s the fourth thing you would know about me? Oh, I\u2019m extremely organized. And when I say organized, I mean problematic. And before I was acting, I used to go into companies and organize them. My first job was at a bank. I was organizing files. Oh, I\u2019m sorry, a sixth one. I worked for Arsenio Hall. I interned for Arsenio Hall. Exactly. I was reading scripts. I mean, I didn\u2019t really think I was doing anything but they told me that I was like, you know, helping make sense of things. In all honesty, it was my idea. Right, that\u2019s what people don\u2019t know about. Now you know.<\/p>\n
