Can't stand Olivia Munn. She's not funny.
I'm normally in this camp and never see what the big deal is about her, but that last interview I thought she did okay. This. She's really not very funny, but the Arizona interview was good.

I think she's getting there. And I appreciate that she's trying to find her own persona rather than try to turn herself into a younger and hotter Sam Bee.

Loved the Bill Clinton interview. The extended version online is a must watch.

I briefly considered flying to DC to go to the sanity rally, but then I realized that would be insane. Hopefully there will be some sort of sister rally in SF.

Bill Clinton is great. Seems like somebody saying something sensible and non-manipulative.

That bit by Jon Stewart made me both laugh and cry hysterically. It's really sad that him announcing a rally of moderates with slogans to go is the satire.
30 years ago you could write sketches including Tea party antics and it would have been as absurd as any Monty Python Sketch. Today, announcing a rally of "restoring sanity" sounds even more absurd.
That makes me die a little inside. What would have been considered normal discourse decades ago has now become parody. Even Colbert's "Keep fear alive" rally sounds more real.
Excuse me while I drink heavily...

The Jon interviewing Blair and the Jon interviewing Clinton were two different people. Seems to be the two extremes of his interviewing style.

Looks like Olivia Munn from G4s Attack of the Show is joining the Daily Show as their asian correspondent. I might have to tune in a bit more often.

Last night's episode on unions was over the fucking top.
Unions man... ugh. I know why they are formed but they're part of the problem now.

I'm thinking of going to the sanity rally. I even have a plan for a sign:
"I'm modestly engaged by a variety of issues"

Gordon Brown is on tonight. Has he done any other notable public interviews or press engagements since stepping down?

I think his last public interview had something to do with a bigoted little old lady

Even out of office he's still cringe-inducingly awkward.

I get the feeling he wanted to go on and be funny in the spirit of other guests (like Clinton). Sadly for him he is at best funny in a way that makes his friends laugh and that in no way works on television. If he'd stuck to serious and let Stewart do the jokes he'd have come off much better but I don't think he wants to be the dour chancellor anymore.
Also he's not had any really notable interviews but he's definitely been on BBC and Channel 4 a little bit trying to pimp his book, usually short bits during the news. I think he's doing a lot more speaking engagements, apparently he's been doing a lot of talks for students recently. Frankly not many people want to interview him, I suspect that he'll do better in the US because they don't know him enough to be sick of him and don't realise what little charisma he manages to bring to the television studio.

It was uncomfortable to watch. How do you politely tell a 9/11 worker with terminal throat cancer to shut the fuck up and let the other guests speak? Also, I find Olivia Munn to be unappealing. She has no waist...she is just a flat rectangle.

I don't believe thats what Ironwood was referring to, and I also do not see what you had seen.

Ah, if you think he was angry before, just wait until you see the last episode of the year.
