Anne Rice, maybe. She's very charming and polite. I'd like to see the chemistry.
Which writer (or other person) would you wanna see Stephen in conversation with?

...oh I was in agreement with the pairing!!!....Harlan is a genius in his own right...
I'd love to see Uncle Stevie debate Ms. Palin. Probably way too easy for him, though 
Like shooting fish in a barrel. Maybe he could ask her if she figured out what the Bush doctrine (or whatever that thing was called that Katie Couric asked her about)?I'd love to see Uncle Stevie debate Ms. Palin. Probably way too easy for him, though
...yeah, but she could see his kitchen from her house!...

I always wonder where did the 'uncle' Stevie come from? I think he started calling himself that at a certain point, but why?
....multiple rasons I suppose, but for me-it's because I look at him as an extended member of my family since he been a part of it for so many years.....
I always sort of look at him like the teacher he once was. He's still very concerned with the craft of writing. But he would be the sort of teacher that stopped lessons early to tell a story.
But if he was an uncle he'd probably be like uncle Red (Gary Busey) from Silver Bullet - the fun uncle.
Have you met her in person? She's much smaller than I expected. And, you're right, she is very charming, polite and soft spoken.
No, I haven't, but I have seen her in many interviews on YouTube. She posted a few videos when she visited NYC to visit her son.
The last time I saw her was when she toured for her first book on the life of Jesus and there weren't that many people there to see her- I kind of felt bad for her as before, when she toured for Memnoch The Devil, there were lines of people going around the block (and she patiently stayed and signed everyone's book for them!). I waited at the end of the line this last time so that I could have a quick chat with her and not feel like I was being rushed. I got to give her a big hug and tell her that I loved her. It was great!
She seems so present and in the moment. Whether she's feeding pigeons in Central Park, listening to street musicians on Jackson Square, or answering questions at her book signings: she seems fully present and AWAKE, if that makes sense. It's quite disconcerting, somehow, but refreshing. She treats each reader as if they're the most important person on Earth.
So cool that you were able to meet her and lucky for you that so few people attended.
I always thought it kinda silly how she used to show up for book signings in a coffin--crazy ol Anne! But gotta love her.
A Trump/King discussion would be like a fight at a hockey game! (verbally!)
It would be YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
