Ken Burns on The A List

It's not every day that you get to sit down with someone like Ken Burns - and just chat. It's not often that someone asks what you did for the afternoon and you get to respond, "Oh, I hung out with Ken Burns." So imagine how incredibly excited I was to find out that the season finale interview for The A List would be none other than - yes, you guessed it - Ken Burns. To say that he is an affable and passionate soul would be a huge understatement. He is as friendly as he is focused on his work, and he was as accessible to me and our crew as he makes his subject matter to his viewers. In the half hour that we spent together, Ken Burns and I discussed everything from his family and first experiences behind a camera, to the materpieces he's produced over time and the ones he has yet to create. I dare say it may be one of the best interviews yet! But don't take my word for it - tune in to the season finale of The A List on Thursday, May 21, at 8:30 p.m. and see for yourself.
