Nate Silver is THE MAN right now after he used all the maths to correctly forecast which way all 50 states would vote in the presidential election.

Thanks to Deadspin, you can have a peek behind the curtain with Nate. They just finished up a chat.

Q What's your "get away from it all" TV show that you enjoy most?

A I like the show called The National Football League. 95% of my TV viewing is sports, or HBO.

See, he's just like us.
