"Caleb Hearon was stuck in flight-delay hell. He's too much of a gentleman to put the city or the airline on blast, but trust him on this: It was hours and hours of being called to the gate, then sent away, then called back again. The clock was ticking - the plane crew was at risk of timing out, which meant everyone was staring down a night in a budget hotel even as they started to board. Hearon, as is his way, was cutting it up with one of the flight attendants, who confessed to being a huge fan of his, and asked her, "'Friend-to-friend, are we going to get out of here tonight?' And she goes, 'I don't know, diva.'" Hearon throws his head back and lets out an ecstatic cackle, which rises from his throat like a flying Sky Dancer toy from the '90s. "The 'I don't know, diva' sent me! That was exactly what I needed in that moment.""
"Hearon - the 30-year-old comedian, actor, and host of the chart-scaling interview podcast So True With Caleb Hearon - makes friends everywhere he goes. "I just really, really, really want to connect with people," he says. "I'm desperate for it. I want to connect in the grocery store with strangers. I need to have an interaction with a flight attendant." His writing partner, Overcompensating star Holmes, praises him as unusually open. "He'll ask anyone to get a meal. If someone piques his interest, he'll be like, 'Let's go get coffee,' Holmes says. "He is not alone very much. That boy will be getting coffee with a few people a day.""
Caleb Hearon is a 30-year-old comedian, actor, and host of the interview podcast So True With Caleb Hearon. He forms quick, spontaneous friendships and actively seeks connections with strangers, even in mundane places like grocery stores and on airplanes. A flight-delay ordeal became a comic anecdote when a flight attendant told him, 'I don't know, diva,' which delighted him. His writing partner Holmes characterizes him as unusually open and notes that Hearon frequently invites people to meals or coffee. Hearon lives part-time in Kansas City, moved to New York about a year ago after living in Los Angeles, and maintains a new Brooklyn studio.
