Stephen Tobolowsky and the Most Boring Man in the World: Any biography of Stephen Tobolowsky must mention, and possibly right at the beginning, his performance as Ned Ryerson, the annoying insurance salesman in Groundhog Day. But that's far from the only big credit in Stephen's IMDb page, which also includes films like Memento and Thelma & Louise. Long before he was the hugely successful actor he is today, Stephen was just another guy trying to get by in New York and that's where he met The Most Boring Man in the World, working the afternoon shift at a local bar. Stephen fills us in on that experience in a conversation that will amuse you, delight you, and put you to sleep. We also hear about Stephen's long ramble through New York whilst escaping a tryst he did not care to join. by Sleeping with Celebrities
