This is my second time here . My last as more than 10 years ago . The country has come a long way . and the food is still epic . <| sep |> I am amazed how bad he can be at interviewing . Just listen to or watch the 2009 cloris leachman interview . she had so many celebrity stories to tell and yet he mostly focused on whether she shaves or not for most of the interview . Same with Joe Fraser in 2009 . But then his James Franco interview was excellent . maybe it is not Howard that is great but the guest that makes or breaks the interview . <| sep |> Deal didn ' t happen . But RSL did try to sign him <| sep |> Just talking to people who I don ' t know , it sucks . <| sep |> Thanks , though I guess I still don ' t see that as particularly strict . Note however that the part about and you can only change your name once only applies to changes to first names specifically , and not changes to surnames for reasons like marriage , divorce , adoption etc . On the other hand , wanting to doublecheck that , I fell into a rabbit hole of researching the actual laws regarding names and found them impressively precise and exhaustive , so there ' s that .
