Bill Cosby

[DGuller]

I've been flipping through the channels to fight insomnia, and I came upon Bill Cosby on Larry King show discussing education.  Cosby seemed completely out of it.  He was incoherent when making a point, didn't answer the questions that were asked and instead just rambled on about what he wanted to ramble about, looked totally bored and disinterested when the other guy was talking, and seemed to be in complete la-la-land when it came to policy suggestions (we should double the money spent on education per child, yeah, sure, that's realistic).  Is age catching up with him, or was he always a couple of bricks short of a load?

He's been like that in any interview I can remember.

Not to mention his comedy act.

And that was any different from Larry King how, exactly?

Bill is a visionary; a modern day philosopher. He doesn't need to be realistic, he needs to help figure out what needs to be done.

Education in America needs work, and all everyone else is saying is "It worked when I was a kid!"

Why would anyone be interested in what Larry King was saying?

I don't get King's show.  It used to be he'd ask the stupidest softball questions imaginable.  Now I think he just gives his guest a mike and lets them talk.

Thats how he plans it. His Ideal show is when he just introduces the guest and lets him speak for the full hour.

I really think King is the worst talk show host I've ever seen.  I have no idea how he's managed to have such a great career.  Maybe he gives really good head or something.

Maybe because he did it first.  I think he was there at the start of CNN?

He seems like an American David Frost, with a less interesting career.

[Caliga]

Well, he was doing talk radio since the 1970s, I think... so yeah there's the longevity.

But even before he got senile, I thought he was horrible.  I mean, I find Diane Rehm easier to listen to and she's got that weird dysphonia disorder.

I know, marrying the same chick twice is crazy
