Scott Evans knows a thing or two about making people feel at home. He does it for a living on House Guest, his Webby-winning YouTube interview series, and its spinoff, House Guest Game Night. But when he's the one traveling, his comforts are decidedly simple: green tea, a familiar pillow mist, and absolutely no itinerary that dictates every minute of the day. For our latest Out and About, the Out100 honoree and former Access Hollywood host opens up about Rihanna making good on a promise to show him his family's roots in Barbados. The visit led him to a church where he found an ancestor's name in a baptismal record, a discovery that brought him to tears. We also talk fashion, the dream dinner party he'd throw if he could invite absolutely anyone, and the famous faces he's still hoping to bring to his L.A. home. Watching House Guest feels like such a joyful, warm hug. What does the show allow you to do that traditional interviews do not? It’s really about being totally myself.

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

The luxury hotel charges too much and will never miss one robe. Do you pack it?

After an expensive hotel stay, you notice a plush robe without a price tag or warning. The room cost more than expected, several promised amenities were unavailable, and you convince yourself the robe is probably included.

When does feeling overcharged become permission to compensate yourself?
