17. Bay Buchanan?

there went lunch...

[katinmn]

5. With his audience he can get anyone he wants

and they have to survive the interview.

:)

6. He's proven to be a skilled interviewer.

Even if I'm a bit biased, I'm still awed by his ability to handle even a hostile guest with humor and focus.

[TahitiNut]

10. He reminds me of a good sheep dog.

He enjoys what he's doing and he asks questions with just exactly enough implication that, before they know it, the quick-footed guest is corralled and the gate clicks shut. He's very quick and very focused and knows exactly where they'll run.

When he's done, nobody has pity for the sheep. :evilgrin:

[swimmernsecretsea]

14. Interesting analogy

And very apt, I'd say. I think recently I was struck by how much fun he has, but how polite he can be while discussing a subject. There's an appropriateness to his humor which softens the blow, so to speak. I don't recall the guests' name, but he was a conservative guest who based his book on on a religious theme. Stewart had to remind the audience that the author considered himself a conservative and didn't tend to agree with him, but their conversation was intelligent and thought-provoking in a good way.

PS: There's a few I'd like to see "shorn" by Stewart, and a few more that should be made into mutton, if you ask me.

[Crunchy Frog]

19. He turned Bill Bennet into mutton chops last week.

I was actually aplauding during that interview.

I very much hope that he will rake Tom Friedman over the coals.

[rocktivity]

7. When Stewart announced that Ray Santorum would be a future TDS guest

the audience groaned--not booed, GROANED!

And I haven't heard from Melhman since Colbert's speech--I guess the shock has finally worn off!

:rofl:

8. Wow, he'll make fools of them all, no doubt. I look forward especially

to the Timmy interview. I second the question: "Who is Louis C.K.?"

[durrrty libby]

11. He's a comedian

[Mist]

13. Thanks--pardon my unhipness. nt

[durrrty libby]

18. No need to apologize. I never heard of him either

I have this Late Night page bookmarked

The handy thing about it is each guest is linked to Amazon and their latest book, or some other explanation as to who they are.

20. Good link! Thanks! n/t

[swimmernsecretsea]

21. Yes, that was great of you to post the info.

I very much appreciate it!

[lvx35]

9. I hope he gets some laughs off Friedman

that guy is a treasure trove of ridiculousness.

[biscotti]

12. Oh my!

That is some a line up. It will take a strong stomach to watch but I'm sure Jon will treat them appropriately.

[faithnotgreed]

15. has russert been on tds before -

very interested to see how jon handles this interview
considering just how insidiously "mainstream" and powerful russert is i cant imagine jon challenging him at all but would love to see it

[lies and propaganda]

16. so its Douchebag Week?

sweet.

[ariellyn]

22. Tim Russet. Yuk. Glad I'll be out of town on the 14th. nt
