Pillow Talk With Scott Baio

Let's wrap up with a few more reader questions: EP Sato and Nick want to know when you last spoke to Willie Aames [Baio's Zapped and Charles in Charge costar].
I don't even know. He went to do Bible Man, and I just lost track of him. He went into the heavens.

Cassie asked how you came to replace Henry Winkler as the Bluth family lawyer on Arrested Development.
I just got a phone call to come on the show, and honestly, I'd never really seen the show, but I was told it was funny. I read the script, and I didn't get the name at first because my accent got in the way. I can't remember who said it on the set in rehearsal, but I went, ''Oh, is that my name? Oh, that's really funny. Bob Loblaw.''

Phil wants to know what's currently on your iPod.
I don't have an iPod. I don't get the whole iPod thing. Who has time to listen to that much music? If I had one, it would probably have Sinatra, Beatles, some '70s music, some '80s music, and that's it. [Bonus, Phil: Hervey said he doesn't have an iPod either.]

This is a good question: Laura wants to know if you ever thought about leaving L.A. to deal with your issues.
I think about leaving L.A. every day and moving to, I don't know where. I can't take the cold anymore, so it'd have to be like Nevada or Arizona or some place where they don't have state income tax — and that's pretty much Nevada and Florida.

Is work what stops you?
Family, work, familiarity. Listen, if I had a magic wand and I could make myself really be happy, I'd zap me onto a farm. And I know nothing about farming. I would love to do that, with a couple of kids. Skiing in the winter time, and jumping in the lake with my rope in the summer. Seriously. Or live on a winery. I don't really drink that much wine, but just the thought of living in a vineyard is great.

Kath wants to know how you ended up at Ronald Reagan's funeral.
I called Nancy Reagan and said, ''I want to come to the funeral.'' I had campaigned for him in '84. I thought he was a great man. It was the most amazing [laughs], kick-ass, awesome [laughs]. I'm quoting Bret Michaels himself.

Are you watching his VH1 show Rock of Love? The idea that they purposely brought on five less attractive women just so that his security guy could turn them away at the door was—
Great.

No!
Horrible. Mean. Disgusting. I agree. I thought it was disgusting.

It was one of the cruelest things I've ever seen on a reality show….But back to you and the Reagan funeral.
The Reagan funeral, in all seriousness, was one of the most amazing things I've ever been around in my life. I could talk about that for an hour. On the news it went from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Margaret Thatcher to ME. I'm sure America was going, ''How in the hell did that happen?''

And now we know.
''What's Baio doin' with Thatcher? Is he tryin' to have sex with her? He really is a jerk!''

There's the pullquote.
I don't want to disrespect Margaret Thatcher. [Voice softens] Seriously, she's still alive, yes? No disrespect to the Iron Lady.
