All rights reserved Q T ’S Q: Which of Nicholas Sparks’s books-turnedmovies does he think is the most romantic? —Jasmin T., Tampa A: So far, the novelist says, that title belongs to the 2004 film adaptation of his romance The Notebook. James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan star in The Best of Me. “The film’s become iconic. I think the historic story appeals to many readers,” he says. “It speaks to the duration of love.” But Sparks’s latest tearjerker, The Best of Me, in theaters now, could give The Notebook a run for its money.

WALTER SCOTT ASKS... KENAN THOMPSON As NBC marks the 40th anniversary of Saturday Night Live this fall, Kenan Thompson reflects on his record as the show’s longest-running cast member— and his extraterrestrial plans beyond. Did watching SNL as a kid inspire you to pursue comedy? It definitely inspired me to want to make my parents laugh! What happens behind the scenes that fans don’t know about?

What’s next for you? I want to do it all. I want to take over the world. I want to go to Mars and open a refueling station. In the meantime, I’ll write and try to produce. I want to be Hollywood busy. Yogi Berra Q: Which Major League Baseball player has won the most World Series? —Mai N., Spokane, Wash. A: The great New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra is a baseball legend for good reason. The Hall of Famer, 89, holds the record for the most World Series appearances, with 14, and wins, with 10—as well as a career record for the most World Series hits, with a whopping 71!

What fans of the Bravo cooking competition (Thursdays) don’t see on TV, Lakshmi reveals, is her wardrobe of garments in increasing sizes. “As I gain weight, I just wear bigger clothes,“ the former model, 44, says, adding that she’s “learned a thing or two about how to [dress to] draw the eye to a preferable area of the body.” But after the season wraps? “I go back to my workout routine!” 2 | OCTOBER 19, 2014 © PARADE Publications 2014.

All rights reserved book is a brilliantly funny tribute to the simple pleasure of eating— or, more accurately, overeating. “Last night I had the following train of thought: Ugh, I’m so full. I guess I’ll have some cheese,” Gaffigan writes. “I can’t stop eating. I can’t. I haven’t been hungry in 12 years.” It’s part confessional (Gaffigan’s idea of a food sacrifice is French fries with no salt) and part travelogue through the mouthwatering world of unlean cuisine. “I’m not a foodie, I’m an eatie,” says Gaffigan, who is six feet tall and not so much fat as slightly circular around the middle (he wears his extra calories surprisingly well). “Doing standup almost every night doesn’t leave me much time for culinary adventures. Mostly I just want the closest good burger.” F or this interview Gaffigan chose one of his favorite New York C i t y c h ow - d ow n spots, the venerable Katz’s Delicatessen, which has been serving cured meats to loyal customers since 1888. It’s an old-fashioned, no-frills foodery that perfectly suits Gaffigan’s blue-collar appetite and fondness for teetering, overstuffed sandwiches. (Katz’s serves more than seven tons of pastrami each week.) In fact Gaffigan’s photo is up on the wall, not far from shots of Bill Clinton and Johnny Depp and a newspaper clipping marking Katz’s centennial (headline: “A Happy Birthday to Heartburn”). “Jim is a great schmoozer and a super-nice guy, but mostly he’s an eater,” says Alan Dell, Katz’s fourth-generation owner. “It’s great to see how much he enjoys the food.” True to form, Gaffigan jumped behind the counter at Katz’s to joke around with the staff and mingle among the hanging salamis. “Jim Gaffigan?” said one startled customer and fan. “You’re working here now?” Slinging brined beef might have been Gaffigan’s dream job if he didn’t already have one. A sometimes actor (the late, lamented sitcom My Boys) and frequent talk show guest, Gaffigan is one of the nation’s most popular touring comedians, snagging Concert Comic of the year at the 2014 American Comedy Awards and solidifying his reputation as one of the best clean comedians around. Much of his material comes from his hectic home life: Gaffigan and his wife, Jeannie, live in a modest two-bedroom apartment in New York City with their five children, sons Jack, Patrick, and Michael and daughters Marre and Katie. (He has said he has a “chronic and acute case of children.”) When he’s not touring, he makes a point of sitting down for dinner with the whole gang. “Eating with your kids is nurturing, but it’s not relaxing,” he says. “There’s a lot of negotiat- about the microwavable snack he calls “a Pop-Tart with nasty meat”). “I used to try to not do any food jokes, because I didn’t want to be known as the food comic,” says Gaffigan. “But I had all these jokes about cake and bacon and they sort of pushed their way back into the act. Or I’d start talking about weddings and that would veer into ice cream. Talking about food helps me connect with an audience. Eating is something most of us do.” G rowing up the youngest of six kids in a middle-class suburb of Chesterton, Ind., Gaffigan learned that eating can also be a contact sport. “You had to eat it before someone else ate it, whether you were hungry or not,” he says. His brother Joe Gaffigan, president of a Chicago-based brokerage and the second-youngest sibling, recalls that at the Gaffigan “I never stopped loving the celebratory foods—hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, the stuff you eat at ball games and parties. Foodwise, I never grew up.” ing, the anxiety of things being spilled, kids missing their mouths. If you can get them to sit in a chair successfully, you feel you’ve achieved something.” Over the years Gaffigan’s act has slowly become more foodcentric, to the point where roughly half his jokes deal with the digestible (in airports fans yell “Hot Pocket!” at him, in honor of his signature bit, dinner table “there was definitely a competition for food. But there was also a competition for attention. Since Jim was the youngest, he had to try harder to get everyone’s attention and get in on the family bits. He got to where he could walk into any room and talk to anyone and bond with them right away. Jim was always a hard worker, and that shows up in his act.” 8 | october 19, 2014 © PARADE Publications 2014.

But I never stopped loving the celebratory foods—hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, the stuff you eat at ball games and parties. Foodwise, I never grew up.” As a student at La Lumiere School in La Porte, Ind., he pac ked away prodigious amounts of grub, owing to his youthful metabolism and training as a wrestler. “When I was 16, my sister’s boyfriend took me to McDonald’s and said, ‘I’ll pay for whatever you can eat,’ ” he says. “I got down five Big Macs, no problem. Let’s just say I couldn’t do that today.” Af ter graduating from Georgetown University, Gaffigan got a job in advertising but switched to stand-up when a friend saw him in an improv class and suggested he give it a go. It was a great career move, but rough on his waistline. Being on the road several nights a week makes it hard for him to resist the siren call of greasy club food. “Burgers,” he says, “are my kryptonite.” He’s had a few named after him, including the Gaffiburger (a.k.a. a bacon cheeseburger) at Schoop’s, a chain in Indiana and Illinois. “The top honor is having an ice cream flavor named for you,” he says. “That’s like being knighted.” F ood seems to follow Gaffigan everywhere.

It’s a constant battle between being gracious to his fans and not eating everything he gets his hands on.” Remarkably, Jeannie herself has managed to stay slender despite her husband’s food fixation. “It’s not easy,” she says. “With Jim it’s kind of a whenin-Rome thing. He’ll ask if I’m hungry and I’ll say, ‘No, I’m fine,’ and then he’ll come back with a banana in a hot dog bun with peanut butter and jelly on it, and he’ll say, ‘This is called a Daddy Dog.’ He’s kind of a bad influence.” Maybe so, but Gaffigan blames the kids. “The key to not eating bad food is not having bad food around,” he says. “But kids have a bland palate, so you have to have burgers and pizzas and stuff like that in the house. If the kids are having it, it’s going to be there. How am I supposed to say no to pizza if it’s right in front of me?” Okay, so he’ll never be Slim Jim, but neither is he throwing in the towel. Exercise, for instance— Gaffigan does it regularly, if somewhat casually. “I like to watch NFL games while sitting on an elliptical bike,” he says. “The problem is, I’d have to work out twice a day just to look out of shape.” He also tries to balance his diet by tossing in the occasional vegetable. “Look, I want to live as long as I can for my family,” he says. “I’m not saying I eat hamburgers every night. I’m not a proponent of leading a destructive life. I’m just kind of self-aware. I know what I like.” Gaffigan's new book, Food: A Love Story, comes out on Tuesday. In the end, Gaffigan is resigned, and happily so, to continuing his great movable feast for as long as the road, and the burger joints, will have him. After all, his book isn’t called Food: A Like Story. “I’m a big fan of cheese, but when I eat it I feel bad the next day,” he says. “I’m sure I’m allergic to dairy in some way. But I know I’m going to eat cheese again. Why? Because cheese is amazing, you know?” 10 | october 19, 2014 © PARADE Publications 2014.

Lost & Found After losing my parents and my brother, I thought I was alone in the world— until I stumbled upon the family I never knew By Will Boast Then, practically by accident, I found that folder. My father had been married before he met my mother, I learned. And he had two other sons from that marriage. I had two half-brothers that had been kept secret from me. When I traveled to England and first met Arthur and Harry, I recognized them. I saw in them my father’s eyes, Rory’s shy smile, my grandfather’s blunt shovel of a chin. Strange what gets passed down through the bloodlines: When we walk, Harry and I roll our shoulders the same way. Arthur’s laugh is just like our father’s. We were essentially strangers, yet I felt an undeniable, almost primal connection to my half-brothers. Over the next couple years, we would grow close; Rory, I know, would have loved them, too. Still, the question haunted me: Why had my dad kept Arthur and Harry hidden for so long? At the time my dad’s first marriage fell apart, in the mid-1960s, divorce was a stain on the family name. My parents’ generation felt they had no choice: It was the conventional nuclear family or nothing. So they hid away their failures, their heartbreak, their shame. Add in the famed English talent for discretion—all of my elderly family kept my dad’s secret as well— and I began to understand why our house in Wisconsin held only that one slim piece of evidence that my half-brothers even existed. My brothers aren’t all that I found. Harry and his partner, Rose, have two children, and they are perhaps the most wonderful gift this strange fluke of chance has given me. The first time little Charlie looked at me with his pale blue eyes and called me “Uncle Will,” I thought my heart would crack open and all the pain I’d been holding, ever since my mom died, would come flooding out. In the past half-century, the way we define our families has become more fluid, more accepting. Whether I have children of my own, I see in my niece and nephew a continuation of the family line. The family they grow up in will look rather different than any my parents could have envisioned—and will be all the stronger for it.

All rights reserved Photo: Courtesy of will boast M y father’s secret was buried so deep I almost didn’t find it. A couple days after my dad’s funeral, I was sorting through the contents of his desk. I was 24 and numbly trying to put his affairs in order. In a bottom drawer, jammed all the way in back, I found an old, yellowed file folder. It was marked “Divorce.” Today, genealogy websites like ancestry.com make discoveries like mine increasingly common. But I was blindsided by what that folder told me about my family. I was born in England, in the industrial city of Southampton, where my parents met while working at an electric blanket factory. When I was 7, my dad took a new job with a plastics company, and our British roots were transplanted to a small town in Wisconsin. A comfortable home, good schools, an escape from just scraping by—America was meant to be our fresh start. But by the time my father died, in 2004, I’d already lost my mother to brain cancer, when I was 17, and my younger brother, Rory, to a car accident, when I was 19. In seven short years, my whole family was gone. I still had my extended family back in England, but I was all but alone in America. I was single, with little desire to get married or have children. I wouldn’t bring kids into a world where the things that had happened to us could happen to them. I felt unmoored, out of reach. The family line, I thought, would end with me. By Marilyn vos Savant can you explain if, and how, those who choose not to vaccinate their children against diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, and whooping cough, are putting others at risk? CArToon: leo CulluM —Aaron Petracak, Irvine, Calif. Some people think that if other children are vaccinated, an unvaccinated child doesn’t put them at risk. Isn’t the risk only to the unvaccinated child? The answer is “no.” Many people cannot be vaccinated, such as those who are allergic to the vaccine and those who have immune systems weakened from other diseases. Also, some people do not develop immunity even after being vaccinated, and many children are too young to be vaccinated. An unvaccinated child who becomes ill puts all of these people at risk, too. In addition, he or she puts other unvaccinated children at risk. Yet it is important if a horse and a half can eat a bale of hay and a half in a day and a half, how long will 10 horses take to eat 10 bales of hay? —Craig Buttars Malad City, Idaho Try pondering this logic puzzle for a while, readers.

(or 10) BAleS In 1.5 dAYS. Ask Marilyn to understand that parents who decline to vaccinate their children will not be swayed by these arguments. Why? Because they fear that the vaccination itself may cause terrible harm. This is surely mistaken, but they believe it, and that’s the crux of the matter. Given the choice of risking great damage to their children versus putting others at risk of these diseases, they naturally choose the latter. This means the only way to reach these parents is through education. Appealing to altruism is not going to work.

YOUR RIGHTS MAY BE AFFECTED. The United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, Southern Division (the “Court”), authorized this Notice. A proposed class settlement involving BHN (the “Settlement”), if finally approved by the Court, will provide account credits to current digital cable customers of BHN and cash payments to former digital cable customers who fit within the definition of the Settlement Class (see below). PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE NOTICE, AS YOUR RIGHTS MAY BE AFFECTED. A Settlement has been preliminarily approved in the lawsuit Parsons v. Brighthouse Networks, LLC, Civil Action No. 2:09-cv267-AKK, in which Plaintiff alleges that Defendant BHN engaged in a practice of requiring Premium Cable subscribers to lease one of its set-top boxes, and that this constitutes an unlawful tying arrangement that violates Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. BHN denies all allegations. For more information about the claims in the case, please go to www.brighthouseclassactionsettlement.com or call 1-800-585-2001. Am I a Class Member?

What Are My Options? You may do one of several things if you are a Settlement Class Member, as set forth below: REMAIN A MEMBER OF THE SETTLEMENT CLASS AND RECEIVE AN ACCOUNT CREDIT OF $30 IF YOU ARE A CURRENT CUSTOMER OF BHN, OR RECEIVE A CASH PAYMENT OF $20 IF YOU ARE A FORMER CUSTOMER OF BHN.
