MSNBC’s Ed Schultz: Whiskey In Winter, Gin And Tonics In Summer

New York magazine wanted to get to know the relatively-new New Yorker Ed Schultz, host of MSNBC’s The Ed Show. The host answered a long list of questions for the magazine’s Daily Intel column, including “what’s your drink?” Schultz says “Gin and tonic in the summer, whiskey in the winter.”

We learn that Schultz prefers the new Times Square to the old, porn-y Times Square, but he hedges by saying he’s only really lived in New York for a matter of months. He also says his favorite New Yorker–alive or dead–is Hillary Clinton.

Asked about NYC’s newspapers, Schultz gives an answer that will surely get eyes rolling among the Fox News viewers of the world: “Times exclusively. Post and Daily News … never.” Not even PAGE SIX?

In the piece, Schultz also reveals where he goes to be alone, how much he pays for a haircut, and what’s hanging over his sofa. And no, it’s not an oil painting of Bill O’Reilly.
