Chip Rowe, PLAYBOY MAGAZINE, The Playboy Advisor: Mr. Media Interview

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Chip Rowe has one of the greatest jobs on earth.

He’s the Playboy Advisor.

You know, the guy who gets letters from C.J. in Chicago that begin, “What is the proper way to tip a blackjack dealer?”

Or maybe this automotive inquiry, from A.K. in Harrisburg, Virginia: “Ever since I was a child, I have fixated on women in cars that won’t start. I suppose you could call this a fetish, because it gets me incredibly turned on. Have you ever heard of such a thing?”

In his first published collection, Dear Playboy Advisor: Questions from Men and Women to the Advice Column of Playboy Magazine, Chip has whole chapters devoted to everything from “Affairs” and “Anal” to “Swingers” and “Threesomes.”

So I’ll only say this once: If you’re under 18 or easily offended, please stop listening right now.

For those of you remaining, please welcome Chip Rowe – the Playboy Advisor - to Mr. Media.

It's All About Me (Playboy)

"'The Daily Show' gained credibility because I left. The only bright side of leaving was I hated everyone involved with the show - (Stephen) Colbert in particular. He seems to be very intelligent on TV, but trust me, it's all smoke and mirrors. Everything is written for him. His scripts need to be spelled out phonetically. I just got tired of carrying him. He has no idea what he's talking about. He can hardly spell his own name."

-- Steve Carell, former correspondent on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," remembering the good times on that show in the June 2008 Playboy Interview conducted by Eric Spitznagel. Carell, who currently appears in "The Office," stars in the summer film Get Smart.

R.I.P., The Original Shrek

"Shrek, in the Chris Farley version of the story, was unhappy at his place in the world, unhappy to be cast as the villain. For me, Chris's comedic persona was key to the creation of the Shrek character - a guy who rejected the world because the world rejected him."

- Terry Rossio, screenwriter of Shrek reminiscing about the life of the actor originally cast to provide the voice of the animated ogre. When Farley died suddenly, the role was recast and the character was brought to live by Farley's old SNL friend, Mike Myers. The anecdote appears in "The Last Days of Chris Farley" by Tom Farley Jr. and Tanner Colby and was published in the May 2008 issue of Playboy; it is an excerpt from the authors's forthcoming book, The Chris Farley Show.
