Did you hear that 3.2 million viewers tuned in to watch the Larry King interview with Paris Hilton? Sadly, I was one of those 3.2 million (and I am in no way proud of that). OK, so I was reading at the same time, so the interview didn’t have my undivided attention. Nor should it. I’m surprised that they could even stretch an hour out of the whole thing. Seems there wasn’t much to say, but I did like how Larry asked her what her favorite bible passage was and she said she didn’t have a favorite. Classic. Anyway, onto Anderson Cooper, with his 360 following the interview. Poor Cooper was forced to dissect the interview with a panel of experts and it was obviously painful for him. I think it was more worthwhile to tune into Cooper’s uncomfortable play-by-play than to watch the actual interview itself. The story seemed to be of little importance to him, but he had to begin with this disclaimer, “We can’t be above the news of the moment.” From that intro, you knew he wasn’t going to have his heart in the game. At one point he commented, “Well, you know, I know, I don’t really, I don’t understand her. I don’t understand her appeal, I don’t understand what she’s done.” Classic. I’ve been a big fan of Anderson since his days of hosting the reality show The Mole. Ah, dry wit. How I love thee.
