Since 1964 Benihana has defined "Eatertainment." There are 80 restaurants world-wide. (Strangely there are more Benihanas in Venezuela than in Canada! And only one in Japan. Romania also has one.)
Clay Aiken is a longtime devotee of Benihana's. We spoke a lot about the Claymate phenomenon, which extends to Japan, where fans naturally are called Claysians. (Fans in Kuala Lumpur are Maclaysians, which sounds a little fast food-y.)
Much of our chat, which included a discussion of Pan-Claysian cuisine, didn't make it into the video below. Still I hope you enjoy...

166. I swear I thought I was watching a Woody Allen movie.
The next time, please interview him while he's grocery shopping. I'd love to see him squeeze some tomatoes or shake a melon.

167. Mo, I've never left a comment for you before, but this clip was too funny not to. You two guys have chemestry. In Georgia eating dirt is a life style?? The Clay fans are nomadic?? I've never seen an interview be more like a comedy skit than this was.

170. I love this interview, the atmosphere isn't like every other interview this one is calm and relaxing and Clay can be himself. It was great.

171. I keep coming back to watch this because it's the best interview I have ever seen with Clay and anyone. You are hilarious, Mo. You brought out the best in Clay.
