What really makes the TIME 100 special is the pairings: Jerry Seinfeld explaining how Chris Rock gets away with breaking every rule of political correctness, novelist Robin Cook on how scientist J. Craig Venter may be coming close to inventing a living thing. The maestro of those pairings is deputy managing editor Adi Ignatius, who presides over the TIME 100 issue and orchestrates not only the choices but also who will write about whom.

There are fewer and fewer places for destination television. When Seinfeld was on NBC on Thursday nights, you had to go home and watch it. You couldn't get it anywhere else.
