It’s called research Larry

Mar 26, 2006 – permalink

I don’t know why some people think Larry King is a great interviewer. He’s often clueless and he keep s on interrupting people.

The TV’s on in the other room and I can hear a repeat of his interview with Liza Minnelli. He asks her what it was like performing Cabaret night after night.

KING: “Cabaret” that had to be incredible doing that every night.

MINNELLI: Well, that was, I’m telling you it was quite a wonderful time and I’m so lucky that I have almost perfect recall, which is wonderful. I have a good memory and I remember every second of that show.

KING: Did you enjoy it every night?

MINNELLI: Well, we only did that show [Liza with a “Z”] once, one time, in front of an audience and that was when it was filmed and it had, you know, we had 16 dancers. We had everything. Then I went back out on the road with only four dancers and did a whole different show and whatever, you know.

KING: Oh.

She made the movie, Larry, she was never in the Broadway show.

Chicken Little’s dumb comment

This week’s eliminated American Idol contestant, Kevin Covais, had to have the dumb comment of the week. Asked by Ryan “Could I be more annoying?” Seacrest for his parting words, he said, “America, be smart. Pick one of these amazing people.”

Yo, Kevin! There aren’t any write-in candidates. Who do you think they’re going to vote for instead?

I also love how the show keeps talking to “America”. If 30 million people are watching, that’s only a bit over 10% of the population. That means, say, 85% of the U.S. couldn’t give a rats ass about you.
