I just saw this Free Online Zoom event sponsored by Illinois Libraries Present, "a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering premier events," scheduled for Wednesday, May 17, 2023 from 7:00 - 8:00 pm Central time (8-9 pm Eastern/5-6 pm Pacific):

“Queer Eye” and “Getting Curious” star and ice skating superfan, Jonathan Van Ness talks with his idol, Olympic Gold Medalist Kristi Yamaguchi. They’ll chat figure skating, fabulous style, and whatever else comes up! With Jonathan, you never quite know what he’ll say next, but his unfiltered takes are always as interesting as they are hilarious.

Jonathan Van Ness is an Emmy-nominated television personality, New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, and hairstylist to the stars. On Netflix’s “Queer Eye” series, he shines as the hair guru and self-care advocate. Most recently, Jonathan launched JVN, a haircare line that sees all beauty, serves all beauty, and honors the uniqueness in each of us.

Kristi Yamaguchi is an Olympic, U.S., and World Hall of Fame figure skater with two World Championship Gold medals along with an Olympic Gold medal. Off the ice, Kristi is a New York Times bestselling author, and her Always Dream Foundation is committed to improving early childhood literacy and technology access to children of low-income families. She is also the creator of Tsuya, a clothing line that delivers style for every part of an active lifestyle.

Bumping this back up in case anyone is interested to watch this before the video is taken down - Jonathan's avid enthusiasm as a figure skating fan was fun to see and his in-depth knowledge of Kristi's career and programs impressed her for sure! :D
