Uncomfortably Close wih Gram Ponante: Danielle Stewart

Gram Ponante talks with comedian (and 2015 AVN Awards show host,
now airing on Showtime) about comedy, drinking, promiscuity,
addiction, and Massachusetts. "Shortly after I talked with
Danielle, she became absolutely the best host of the AVN Awards in
my personal 10-year history of attending. (This was not because I'd
talked to her; I just happened to be there slightly before she went
onstage.) Most comedians just don't know how to walk the line
between the audience at home and the one at whatever Vegas casino
convention center the awards are staged in. Either they watch too
little porn and appear like an outsider or they watch too much porn
and they come off as crass. Porn stars want to be seen as elegant
and sophisticated. They don't need to be reminded of their movie
titles and what a cheap joke that is. It's the same with porn
consumers. So, knowing this, Danielle was fantastic.
