Hmm.

Rosebud "Cafe"? It's "Diner."

It's Jonathan "Winters." It's John "Cleese." It's also just "Buzz Aldrin" -- he legally changed his name, so it's not Edwin anymore (but, I'm sure a lot of people don't know that). I dunno, seeing three errors in one sentence kinda put up red flags.

And I guess he hasn't seen any "Star Wars" prequels. Maybe he should have asked Kimmel why he chose that title for his book, or at least looked it up. Then he wouldn't have sounded ignorant.

It's also True Grounds cafe in Ball Square

not "The Common Ground". And The Godfather's author is Mario Puzo, not Mari.

One disadvantage of blogging platforms (including here at UHub) is that there is no proofreader or copy editor to intervene between writing and publication.
