And who’s on the docket this week?

Hope you get a kick out of our Q&A below!
Dana Perino asks a few "short questions" of Shannon Bream — including what others would be surprised to learn about her and her pick for karaoke. (Fox News)
Q: What should every woman try at least once in her life?
SB: Getting up on some kind of stage — comedy, singing, speaking. It's terrifying, but worth proving to yourself you can do it.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Q: Describe a moment or opportunity that changed your life.
SB: Meeting Brit Hume backstage as he was about to give a speech, way back in 2006. He gave me a shot!
Q: What is something that people would be surprised to learn about you — do you have a secret talent?
SB: I am a barista. My kitchen counter is filled with flavors, my fridge with all sorts of milk options, and I'm always forcing my custom creations on visitors.
Q: What is a skill that you would like to learn?
SB: Violin. Ever since I was a little girl playing the piano (and butchering the clarinet), I've wanted to learn that beautiful instrument. It might turn out to be more of a fiddle situation in my hands ...
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Q: Name three places you want to visit in the next three years.
SB: The Amalfi Coast, the U.S. National Parks of the West (particularly Zion and Bryce), The Whitsunday Islands.
Q: What book do you find yourself recommending the most?
SB: The Bible.
Q: Dream interview?
SB: Jesus. I've got lots of questions!
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Q: What’s next in your stack of books to read (or write!)?
SB: I'm trying my hand at fiction. No idea if I'll be any good at it, but a story sort of divinely fell into my lap and I want to try to do it justice.
Q: If you had to do karaoke, what would be your go-to song?
SB: "Photograph" by Def Leppard.
Q: What three qualities in a significant other matter most to you?
SB: Fidelity, humor, compassion.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Q: You’re out with your dear husband, Sheldon — do you order a side of fries or just nibble on his?
SB: We share desserts, but nothing else!
Q: You’re so sweet — what's your favorite type of dessert?
SB: The darker the chocolate, the better.
