Would the “celebrity” have a security detail?
Oh you know I’d force a certain King in Chief to sit down with me for four hours, it would be delightful, with a spectacular closing act.

I’m not burning to have a conversation with any celebrity in person, but I’d probably pick some famous philosopher or scientist or something so that the conversation would at least be interesting.
Brennan Lee Mulligan, would love to just geek out about ttrpg theory with him for 6 hours.
Neko Case!
Hmm.
Honestly John Rys Davies, based solely on Dominic Monaghan’s description of him ordering dinner when filming Lord of the Rings.
"John Rhys-Davies… took us to a restaurant. And it was when we’d only just started to get to know John. And we sat down at this huge, long table, and he said, “I think I will order the food for tonight.” And we said, “Oh, ok, on you go John.” And you know, we were having a conversation, and the waitress came over, and John ordered food that would probably have fed 35, maybe 40 people. And there were about 12 of us. And he just said, “We’ll have nine lobster and 15 shrimp, and 12 red snapper, 15 filet mignons, and some grilled mushrooms. I’ll have 12 onions and a wild boar…” You know? All this kind of stuff - just like, “Pheasants, and grouse, and - do you have partridge? Bring the partridge.”

Do I have to do it tonight, or can there be a ‘waiting period’? (I have nothing to wear…)

Mmmm nobody, because I don’t respect or care for anyone who is considered to be a celebrity. I just don’t get it.
