10 Things Only Stephen King Fans Will Understand

5. Getting Excited Every Time He's On TV

There are many writers out there who live reclusive lives, choosing to shy away from the media in order to preserve a certain image, or so they can focus more heavily on writing. In actuality, the vast majority of writers just aren't that interesting to the media. It's the stories they tell that are valuable, not the person who wrote them.

Stephen King, of course, is something of an exception, so celebrated and beloved that he's transcended the status of mere writer to achieve celebrity. You'd think a person who writes so much and so often wouldn't have time for television appearances, but, well...you'd be wrong. Stephen King has made countless television cameos, including Frasier, Sons Of Anarchy and in a film he directed himself, Maximum Overdrive. And every single one is brilliant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tCkLeVFa4Q
