Music Video: Love Song for Terry Gross Is a Breath of 'Fresh Air'

Million Puppet March

Terry Gross interviews A-listers all the time. But when stars come on her show, more often than not, they're the ones who end up gushing about her:

  • Drew Barrymore: "Thank you, Miss Terry Gross -- someone I listen to on a regular basis. I can't believe I have the privilege of being on your program."

  • Jimmy Fallon: "I'm a big fan. Thank you so much for having me on."
  • Stephen Colbert: "Thanks for having me on. It's always fun."

The result was Terry (A Love Song for Terry Gross):
