What is the meaning of "is as good a time as"?
I found the following sentence on a TV show. I cannot understand the meaning of "as good a time as" in the following sentence. Therefore, I would be grateful if someone could let me know what is the meaning of it.
Well, I guess, now is as good a time as any to make an announcement.
Furthermore, I know how to use phrases such as "as much as", "as good as" and "as effective as" which is composed by using "as + adjective + as". Nevertheless, the above usage is a bit strange for me. On top of that even taking the context into account, I couldn't completely understand the meaning of the phrase, though I could guess that the speaker wanted to express that he thought it would be a good time to talk.
