Your ultimate celebrity dinner party guest list would include:
Amy Schumer for the laughs, James Corden (we’re definitely doing carpool karaoke – see next guest), Taylor Swift for the tunes, and the current Clemson Football team (we’re going to need a bigger table!).
Long-term personal or professional goal?
Long term goals? I’m just trying to get through today.
