Executive summary: Host of Fresh Air on NPR Joined Fresh Air at WHYY Philadelphia in 1975. Memorable Fresh Air interview subjects: Bill O'Reilly, Monica Lewinsky, Peter Boyle, Jann Wenner, Faye Dunaway, and Lou Reed have all walked out of interviews, objecting to Gross's line of questioning. A combative Gene Simmons got Gross on the defensive with his low-key hostility and tried to keep her off-balance throughout the interview. In a 2010 interview with comic Louis C. K., he mentioned that he always wears a shirt when having sex, whcih got Fresh Air dropped on Mississippi Public Broadcasting.
