Go ahead — ask me anything.

That's the simple prompt behind Reddit's extremely popular series, "Ask Me Anything," or AMA. The question and answer directive offers Redditors a chance to submit queries to a variety of interesting people, from ex-Mafia bosses to a slew of mega-famous names, such as Barack Obama, Bill Gates and Al Gore.

The AMA is mostly a vehicle for a shared learning experience. Unless you're Woody Harrelson, who will go down in Reddit history as one of the worst of all time, most AMAs are full of interesting, insightful and funny questions and responses, a place where people are happy to spill secrets and confessions.

Unfortunately, Reddit hasn't been around forever. There are quite a few people we'd like to subject to a no-holds-barred Q&A. Here are the famous historical figures who would have hosted awesome AMAs, from MLK Jr. to Andy Warhol, who would certainly print it out and measure it in inches.
